 To be fair, Stanford cares less about the big money sports than most power 4 schools. They love getting attention from their Golf/Tennis/Baseball alumni of renown. They are always in play for the Learfield because they actually field lots of teams unlike most power 4 schools. They did try to shut a few of them down a few years ago and got hit hard by alumni/student potential lawsuits.

This is the challenge faced by donor-funded teams rather than market-funded programs. If you try to shut down a wrestling program which has a dedicated endowment, you can find yourself in hot water with a livid donor.

But if you fund your program with ticket sales and media rights... you can direct your donors to NIL and facilities, rather than coaching salaries, team travel and uniforms.
