At least one NCAA title each of the last 39 years. Tuition is a disadvantage, but they are finding a way to overcome

Here's a partial breakdown of those 107 titles

35 are in mens/womens tennis. 16 are in mens/womens swimming. 15 are in water polo. 9 are in mens/womens golf. 5 are in mens gymnastics. Stanford dominates in the country club sports and a few other low participation sports.

If you look at baseball, a sport you'd expect to be fairly tuition sensitive due to scholarship limitations and the demographics of those who play, Stanford has actually declined noticeably in the past 10-15 years. I have no idea, however, if tuition increases have actually contributed to that decline or if it's just a coincidence.
For Olympic sports, they are top shelf

Particularly warm weather sports like swimming and water polo.
