As we fans sit here wondering if there will be a NCAA championship this year, we can recognize that Stanford has/had several decent chances at that goal this year, and last year, and the years before that, and probably into the future. The amazing streak of national championships may end some year, perhaps even this year, but I believe that the AD is working hard to make sure Stanford has a lot of excellent teams.
While another thread has posters bashing the AD, maybe we ought to thank the AD here for keeping Stanford at or near the top in so many sports.
In the academic year 2024-2025, if you went to every game between Stanford and one other team (ie, 21 of 34 sports listed at GoStanford - excluding teams that only participate in multi-team events (golf, etc.)), you'd have been happy with a win 2/3 of the time. They had a combined 333-161-4 record. (Anyone want to look at other schools to see if any are 172 games above 0.500?) I suspect this year will be much the same.
