Thanks for putting some numbers up.  It leaves me with some questions, mostly dealing with the change in conference and all that entails.

2023-2024 is before the year of record-breaking travel ($$) for a number of sports.  
I also seem to remember that for the next several years, we're getting less TV rights than in 2023-2024.

Basketball offers no more than 5% of TV revenue to Stanford?  
Then there is the payout to the conference for the men & now the women for the NCAA basketball tournament.  I don't know if the ACC distributes that equally to all schools, and especially to new schools.  (Did we lose our claims to the PAC-12 money earned while we were part of it & also have no rights to ACC money earned when we were not part of it?)

BC's comment about the House payouts brings to mind an interesting question.  If football is dropped, then more of that money would be available to strengthen other sports, such as basketball, relative to other schools.   Not a good plan if you're one of the top FB schools, but may be advantageous if you're not.

One savings that would be hard to quantify, but might be significant, is the potential future cost of class-action suits by players/survivors for CTE and such.
