CB 91 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 Very sad to hear this. I always heard that all of their programs were fully endowed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bnwtwg 1,034 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 Just now, CB said: Very sad to hear this. I always heard that all of their programs were fully endowed. The endowment is fully endowed, but they never touch the trust funds. It’s a dick-swinging talking piece at that level. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RegularStalling 52 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 Heartbroken. Not a good sign for the future of our sport collegiately. Side not, but I also feel terrible for Kerry McCoy. Just uprooted to come to run the CRTC a month and half ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLS62pa 55 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 6. If donors step forward, can any of these sports retain their varsity status? The decisions to reduce our sports offerings are final, and any future philanthropic interest in these sports may be directed towards supporting them at the club level, should they establish as a club sport after their 2020-21 varsity campaign. While Stanford Athletics has many tremendously generous donors, their support simply could not cover the escalating costs of ensuring excellence across the board in our 36-sport model.

Pinnum 836 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 4 minutes ago, bnwtwg said: The endowment is fully endowed, but they never touch the trust funds. What do you mean by that statement? My understanding is that wrestling has never had a fully funded endowment at Stanford. Are you simply saying that the endowment fund at Stanford is "large enough"?

buck 65 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 The sport needs an entirely different operating model separate from college. 1 GoNotQuietly reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bnwtwg 1,034 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Yes, that is what I’m saying. University endowment funds are most easily defined as reserves aka a savings fund at that macro level, and it is my personal opinion that the savings funds should be tapped at times like this. But I’ve worked enough with administrators to develop case studies regarding POAs and deliverables to know better.

Glane18 73 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 Didn't Adeline Grey just move out there as well? This is horrible. I live nearby and I am heartbroken, especially since they have so much potential this upcoming season. Where do all the guys go? Where does Abas go?

Antitroll2828 987 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 They have a 27.7 billion dollar endowment, but you know the dean might need to put an addition on his winter home or the football team might need Gucci carpet in the locker room so bring out the axe for the “lesser” sports. 2 bnwtwg and GoNotQuietly reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fudge_tunnel 118 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 Abas to Fresno St? At least we have another college to root against for all other sports (Boise St, EMU, Oregon, etc) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJDan 1,070 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 And Stanford is fabbbbbulously wealthy. I guess it intends to stay that way or become even more so. 1 cjc007 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bnwtwg 1,034 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 Too bad Stanford is bleeding money. Not sure if they will be able to even stay in the black after spending all $27,700,000,000 on sports and research this year. https://facts.stanford.edu/administration/finances/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nhs67 1,995 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 Used to have a kid who was a Spartan fan, but would order Stanford 'S' stuff(that didn't have the tree) because his favorite color was red. Bring 'em all to East Lansing. I'd be overjoyed. Still get to have a gigantic 'S' for your logo. :) 1 BhamState reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's going to be a lot of suitors for Woods, Abas, and Griffith. Probably for Traxler and DiSario too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJDan 1,070 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 How does Stanford decide it cannot afford wrestling or anything else? Obviously, it has the money. But just as obviously the wrestling team loses money-- but so does the English department. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConnorsDad 596 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 And of course they knew this long before now but waited till the students would feel pretty much compelled to go there this year. Maybe it'll work out like liked Brown did. The students and lawyers will figure out that they knew they were going to cut the program and still were recruiting and file a lawsuit. I'm anti lawsuit for frivolous purposes but in this case the admin knew they were going to cut the sport and they still kept letting the coaches recruit and make plans as if they were going to be there. **** them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestlestat has Penn State winning, with Woods at 149 and Griffith at 165, by a score of 18-12. That isn't factoring in that a healthy Kerk defeats Cass handily(currently has Cass winning 13-6)...
