Can somebody anylyze Stanford athletics financial numbers to determine how much football is currently subsidizing other sports?

Given the bloated cost of the football program and the limitations of Pac-12 revenue distributions, contributions may be more significant in supporting the non-revenue sports than football.  Given the prowess of the Stanford fund-raising machine, it is not out of the question that Stanford could continue Olympic sports at a high level without the football contribution.

I don't have the numbers but I'd be surprised if football is profitable. Same for men's basketball. I'd guess that women's basketball is the only sport that pays for itself these days.

In fact it is THE EXACT OPPOSITE.

Football makes all the profit, which pays for all the other sports.

Women’s basketball is the most money-losing sport — which I do not mind at all.
