Good for Stanford. Drop to D3, let the players who want to transfer leave and focus on being an academic university. Dropping the Olympic Sports was the first step. Stanford will never go for the idea of paying the kids anyway.

And never threaten to leave the field. Just do it. The U will gain tremendous respect.

U. of Chicago, MIT & Stanford.  Great D3 company.

Is there any talk of FCS schools risking amateurism? Because simply dropping to FCS (I-AA) would still allow us to compete for the full 100 points in football (yes, two football teams get 100 points each fall for football), whereas the football points would be squandered if we went to Division III for football and stayed in Division I for all other sports (if that is even a possibility).
