Tough given that wrestling was almost cut as one of the eleven sports on the covid target list.  I imagine it would be up to the boosters to increase their donations to the wrestling endowment.

Yeah I mean in fairness, the sport doesn't make any money, doesn't motivate many boosters, and doesn't have any endemic (local) support. (unlike, say, water polo, which is quite uniquely popular among HSers across California). And Stanford has only fleetingly been good at it, again, unlike, say, water polo. Given all that, I can't say I'd prioritize throwing another $200k for our 36th varsity sports coach versus funding another full professorship.
