I don't necessarily agree with everything in this article -- and I don't think that a university will gain a lot of money from Missy Franklin matriculating there -- but it is definitely worth a read.
A worthy question:
Stanford turns down thousands of applicants per year. If you believe them, it is not because they don't have the room, but rather because they only accept worthy candidates. In fact there is always room for more worthy candidates.
If you think Missy Franklin would increase worthy candidates who apply to Stanford by 2 or so per year (non-swimmers) then she is bringing $100,000 of tuition (for 4 years) to the school that they otherwise would not have. And the majority of the costs for a school are fixed so there would not be much impact on expenses by the 2 additional students.
This is essentially the argument I made to my college when we were trying to get the pool expanded.
