It's no doubt an unpopular sentiment and an inconvenient truth but I'm afraid MVB was a Title-9 casualty. Regardless this is a sad era for Stanford athletics.
I would call it a football decision, not a Title IX decision. Football warps all of the decisions on Olympic sports.

If everyone who signed contributes $10,000, then it might make the university budge. They don't care about signatures.
I don't think the university wants 880 undergrad spots taken up by athletes anymore, either.
