One of the disadvantages of Stanford being a private school is that we fans have no access to the athletics budget. Using the USA Today public database it is possible to know, for example, just how much money 10 of the 12 Pac 12 schools are losing, and why they are losing it. But for schools like Stanford and USC we fans really have no idea. That makes this more of a surprise than if we had been aware that the ICA budget had been underwater for years.
I believe it's Ohio State. Wikipedia lists them as having 37 varsity sports. Harvard has 42, but as they are non-scholarship I'm not sure we ever compared our numbers to theirs.
