so if football was discontinued the AD would have to get funding of ~$80m/year (of which they got $39m
(taking out ~$10m for PE etc.) in 2023-24) or about $40m more than last year
They might (or might not) have to give back some of the endowment that was given for things like
the endowed football scholarships and coaching positions but that would likely not impact other sports much if at all

Stanford opened with Football in 1891-92. Walter Camp. Pop Warner, Ernie Nevers, Vow Boys in the 20s.
Lotta greats over the years. J.Brody, Plunkett, the Thunder-Chickens, Elway, Nelson, J.Lynch, Gerhart, Luck, CMC.
The back-to-back Rose Bowl wins over BigTen SuperPowers 1971-72.
It ain't just Dollars & Cents. For me; it's part of the soul of the University -- there from the beginning.
Seeking to compete; Daring to innovate. Beating the Domers when they were on top; stuffing Lou Holtz THERE.
And whacking the Blunt Skulls, like U$C in 2007(!), 2009, 2011, 2015 (2x).
You don't get "Hey, what's your deal, Man?!" in physics -- though we could. Plus the Nobel Prizes.
I love the combo. And slamming KALSucks in the 1990s and in the 2010s. "Party in the Backfield".
And the rudest band at Half time... (OK, not all the performances). Without football, no halftime.
Beyond the numbers are the Cultural Impact of Stanford rearing up and smacking the Powers that Be.
"Intellectual Brutality", then. I'm in.
