Correct.  Which is why I have resigned myself to it.  It isn't even really the financial side of it--I'm sure Stanford donors could come up with the $15 million a year to make up for football revenue and keep the other sports going.  But I can't see WBB and all the other sports doing well in any west coast league that is left over after the Pac 12 debacle, so this crazy move is necessary.

But among my wife's and my college friends, I am the oddball.  Most of them would be fine with Stanford becoming U Chicago or Cal Tech or MIT.
