[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think prestige is mostly helpful in affording a person instant recognition.  I just think prestige is much more concentrated at the top than people would like to recognize.  At the Olympics, Gabby Thomas was repeatedly recognized as being a Harvard grad.  That happens with VERY few schools.  [/quote]
Interesting, because the Olympics is filled to the brim with Stanford grads, and it never really comes up. Then again, the h bomb just works that way.[/quote]

It’s the rare sight of a Harvard grad in a non-country club sport, that’s why.  I guarantee it would come up all the time if she was a Brown or Yale or other Ivy grad.

You would hear even more if she went to Williams because it’s essentially unheard of for a D3 school to produce Olympic talent in non-country club sports (maybe even country club too).

Stanford is a Power 4 school…same reason you won’t hear someone accentuate Duke or Vandy or other dual Power 4 academic school grads…they produce lots of top athletes in general.[/quote]
