SJS is the ideal OOC opponent for Stanford in the "pretty much pencil in a W" category. SJS usually has some good athletes and is not a total and complete pushover like a D2 school. And they are right next door, so there is no real travel impact. Isn't the whole reason the SJS-Stanford series is over because SJS wants Stanford to play in San Jose and Stanford rightfully refuses because Spartan Stadium has such a small capacity?
Perhaps a compromise would be SJS could play Stanford at Levi's Stadium for its home game against Stanford in a home and home series? This way Stanford can play its home games against SJS at Stanford Stadium and will have the opportunity to have larger crowds for SJS home games against Stanford. Wouldn't Levi's hosting SJS home games against Stanford take the issue off the table that is causing disagreement between the two schools?
