WE should give serious consideration to giving up football.

My first game 72 years ago. 72 years before the worst QB ever

Unless for NC

Right now I wouldn't try to argue that point with you.

Football is the mechanism by which our (championships-winning) Olympic sports are supported. Plus let's see what the big new investment can bring in terms of at least getting us back to respectable performances.
I mean, it could be worse: we could be paying a college football coach $10 million a year for the same outcome, not making a bowl. :)

Farrell w drive killer penalty

Is it, though? Given the reduced ACC TV rights, virtually nonexistent gameday revenue, and increased costs, I doubt football breaks even.

I’d like to see us score a TD here
Not cause will make any difference in the game outcome
But just cause I’ll be slightly more believable when claiming we coulda/shoulda won this game
RE: FB -- South Carolina Thread - PVTree - 11-08-2025
Too late. Even if we score a TD, stop them and get the ball back, we'll only have around 30 seconds to move the ball for a TD or FG.

Stanford is not scoring a TD, lol.
My lack of faith exposed. Can you blame me?

Anyone know the logic for going for two on our prior touchdown? Even if we had converted, it would have remained a two possession game.

Football allows us to be in a P4 conference, which is competitive/good enough to keep bringing in that top level talent. It keeps in play, if we can pull ourselves off the mat in football, a chance in the future to get into a P2 conference if/when college sports heads in that direction. Plus at some point in the future, there is the potential for greater P4/P2 money.
I can't think of a non P4 program that matches the all-around performance in the Olympic sports of Stanford and its other peers (e.g. UT, UVA, UNC etc.). To wit, the top non P4 performer in the Director's Cup (take the formula with the grain of salt) was Princeton at *No. 33*. So non P4 schools are simply not competitive in the Olympic sports overall.
