Apologies to those younger than 50 who have no idea what the thread title is about.
I find all this discussion odd in the extreme.
My hope and expectation is that Stanford will do the right thing.
This persistent notion that Stanford athletics should break even is goofy. We have more money than we know what to do with
Does, say, the Classics department have to break even? Do our peers like Harvard expect the athletic department to break even? Of course not.
Indeed, this whole focus on money is precisely what's wrong with college sports nowadays.
