Is there a list of Stanford varsity sports that are financially self-sustaining? Given the direction that college football is headed, doesn't it seem like all of them will need to become self-sustaining -- if they're going to survive beyond the next 5 years or so? Shouldn't this become the AD's main mission now -- getting endowments that enable as many sports as possible to become self-sustaining?

I believe that list is:

Football

In 2021, when Stanford said it would reverse the plan to cut 11 sports, the university said that supporters of the 11 programs had shown a path toward a new funding model, and that men's volleyball alone had gotten more than $7.7 million in pledges. Was that all a bunch of hype?
