Depends on the sport and post-athletic plans
If my Olympic sport got me into a top academic school that sets me up for a career in a field like business, law, science or medicine, I'd take a backup role and focus on the degree and grades. If I'm playing basketball at a P5 school, I'd focus on maximizing my chances at a payday in the NBA or Europe and want to go to a school that gives me as much playing time as possible. There are more athletes in the first category than the 2nd one.
