Hmm... Athletics was not mentioned as one of the areas getting hit.  (That doesn't mean it wasn't hit, just that it wasn't mentioned.)

The article says  "increased Stanford’s endowment tax from 1.4% to 8%"

[url=https://stanforddaily.com/2025/06/05/stanford-to-face-21-endowment-tax-under-trump-bill/]Stanford Daily indicates "As of August 2024, Stanford’s endowment totaled $37.6 billion, with an annual payout of about $1.8 billion."  Stanford indicates 7554 undergrads + 9915 grads (Fall 2024) = 17,469 students. Adding 8% more students (ie 1,331) would get to 18,800 students and Stanford would be in the 4% bracket, saving $1.8 billion * 4% = $72 million (about $54,000 per added student).  

Granted, I don't know where they would put them on the main campus, it would seem Stanford could swallow up some small school and campus.

Another way to increase the student population is for students to (opt to) stay an extra year.
