i found this announcement from the AD somewhat odd - 82lsju - 05-27-2026

of the things that followers of Stanford sports want to know about the AD this seems low on the list

Quote:Stanford Athletics and Ramp today announced a multi-year partnership naming Ramp the official expense management partner of Stanford Athletics

Ugh.  That press release was painful to read.  Notice how everything is in groups of three.  Might have been written by AI.

I got this email at my work email address.  They must be scraping contact information from LinkedIn or some other source.

Hello "XXXXX" Noticed you went to Stanford and wanted to pass something along that might be relevant.

Ramp just announced an official partnership with Stanford Athletics. The program is using Ramp to modernize how they manage purchasing, expenses, and AP across the department, and every business that comes on through the partnership directly supports Stanford Athletics and their student athletes.

[Learn more about he partnership here]

Ramp replaces the patchwork of cards, expense reports, and AP tools most companies are running on. One platform, real-time controls, and AI that handles the coding, compliance, and reconciliation that your team is doing manually today. Finance teams that move to Ramp close faster and spend a lot less time on the stuff that shouldn't require a human in the first place.

Worth 15 minutes to see if it maps to what you're dealing with at  XXYYZZ?

Go Card,
Drew

Yeah, what's next? Official hemorrhoid cream of Stanford?  "We are partnering together for much happier butts in our future..."
