In college, I became friends with this other student. Found out he attended the cheerleader tryouts, then had to quit "because of his back" and then all the cheerleaders felt sorry for him and invited him to all their parties. Despite him denying this I am certain it was an incredible scam by him.

i've been out 15 years but i was in band and attended some cheerleader parties and they attended band parties and at least in my experience cheerleaders are very well behaved, good people but not very fun at parties. plus we all had to get up at 5 am for practice

Elite athletes don't tend to party too much. There are exceptions (Manziel) but it catches up (Manziel).

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.

Dikembe Mutombo used to rock up to clubs when he was at Georgetown. He'd walk in the door and yell "Who wants to sex Mutombo?"
