I don't follow football that closely so I don't have an opinion about Shaw (seems like a nice guy in interviews) or the players.  However when I saw how empty the stands were I thought this is embarrassing to Stanford. 

It might be better for Stanford to focus on academics and do away with football.  Just have club sports or start a new west coast conference modeled after the Ivy League.

Well, we have considered that in the past and decided to stick with D-1 football. Taking the big picture into account we have done OK. Let's not overreact to a extraordinary bad loss.

What, exactly, should be considered an overreaction given the catastrophic humiliation the $7M per year David Shaw produced Friday night?

The idea that we should give up football, or at least relegate it to the club level or join an Ivy League type Conference.
Do you think it should be considered?
