I have been nagging them to do this for a while.
They kept saying "you're right and we're going to do it -eventually" Eventually has finally come but not at a good time. I can't find the report anywhere on gostanford. I think this link gets you there, though : https://info2.stanford.edu/index.php/email/emailWebview?md_id=41557
Edit- That doesn't work. Unfortunately, I can't figure how to link to the report. As mentioned, no where to be found on gostanford.
As MIT pointed out, a huge deficit. This is despite the fact that the department has enormous endowments. All those silly names (The Biff and Buffy Jones Fund to offset the golf team's lost ball expense) represent an enormous amount of bucks.
Can we at least give up this notion that college athletes make a lot of money for their schools and deserve compensation? For the 1% for whom compensation is an issue, maybe they ought not pretend to be amateurs. Or, for that matter, students?
I don't think this level of deficit is feasible. Not sure what changes will be made to deal with it. Dropping 11 sports didn't work out well the first time but might be the only option.
