Rose Bowls 3 of 4, 2013-2016 -- not that long ago.
I attended all three.
We are past just "rooting for your school" -- that was 20th Century.
... "Go Card" is useless -- instead, THINK!
1) How many Linemen are making NIL?
That's where we need to spend some money... Tunnel Workers Union.
Go back and look at the Linemen of the 2009-2016 teams.
2) Stanford Endowment is $36B+, and the Brad Freeman money ($50M). Do some math.
3) We've got Nobel Prize winners in Math and Science and AI... but we can't figure out the NIL Game? C'mon! THINK! Crank it out.
Where are we? How much NIL is being earned by Stanford players each year now?
HOW MUCH? WHO? WHY?
Do you want to get back to a Bowl, or just "try hard"? Anyone...
Check the Linemen here in 2009 -- Running "Power" down the throats of Trojans and Domers.

on #2, the AD in their last annual report with actual numbers getting somewhere in the area of $40m-$50m a year from the University (probably more as the $40m-$50m was before the reduction in TV money from joining the ACC). At least some of Freeman's gift is for endowing scholarships (I think it was six), if all of it is endowing things the $50m will throw off ~$2.5m/year. The AD is apparently using the full allowed House payments (~$20m), I'd assume $15m is going to football.
