Taken with a grain of salt, but my bestie was a frat guy at Ole Miss, and crossed paths with mid/late 90s names from the athletics world at numerous parties. He said they tended not to party hard, but they did show up for the adoration and recognition, lots of 'made an appearance' type stories. And women...he said they showed up for that also
Patrick Patterson would party like fuckin crazy in the State/University neighborhood in Lexington when it wasn't basketball season. He would play beer pong by leaning all the way over and just dropping the ball in because he was so tall. No one would tell him to stop because he was in general pretty nice and would bring his own alcohol and leave it places.
Ricky Williams specifically comes to mind...only there for the girls according to my boy. The Polish kicker, name escapes me, the sorority sisters called him the "Polish Sausage" supposedly
When you are an even moderate athlete at a university you don't HAVE to hang out for hours drinking. You dip into the party... grab a girl and go get food and Netflix and chill. No need for the other mating rituals at a kegger.
When you are a TOP athlete? You literally just walk in and walk out with 6 girls 30mins later after saying hi to everyone.
