Are these current college students or would say Kevin Durant count as a gold for Texas?

How do other colleges and conferences stack up?

How do other colleges and conferences stack up?

U.S.C., Florida and Cal had the most medals. Mostly because they have the most swimmers.

Here's an article on the topic:

Most Gold Medals (135): 12-USC & Stanford ... 11-Cal … 9-Florida … 6-UCLA, UConn & Texas

… 5-Tennessee … 4-Michigan … 3-Arizona, Georgia, Texas A&M and Virginia

… 2-Auburn, Harvard, LSU, Minnesota, North Carolina, Northwestern, Oregon & Washington

… 1 (34)-Alabama, Alaska Fairbanks, Arizona State, Cal Poly Pomona, CS Dominguez Hills, Columbia, Dickinson State, Drexel, Hampton, Illinois, Iowa State, Ithaca, Kansas, Kentucky, Long Beach State, Louisville, Miami, Mississippi, Nebraska, Norfolk State, NC State, Notre Dame, Pennsylvania, Portland, Princeton, Purdue, Roberts Wesleyan, Rutgers, Syracuse, TCU, Texas Tech, Wake Forest,

West Virginia, Western Kentucky & Yale (48% of the 281 U.S. college medals were gold)LINK

FYI, the article in OffTackleEmpire is using a non-standard methodology in counting the medals, which is why the latter article (and other articles in news channels) are reporting more medals per school - for some reason OTE did not count medals awarded to athletes who did not participate in the finals.
