Everything you have said about Stanford, I swear I had already read all of it. Then I remembered, it was put out there by the LA Times, back in late summer / early fall of this year. I'm too lazy to find the article but it had all of the same points and conjecture
What exactly did Hugh Freeze do at Ole miss? I remember it was something about escort services.
Was he banging hookers, or calling up hookers for players?
I respectfully disagree. i.e. I doubt Fritz told recruits, while at Tulane, that he was there to win FBS championships.
He may tell them he is there to win the conference championship - I can get onboard with that.
Got it. I better understand where you are coming from.
I'm not really sure what Stanfords long term plans for football are.
Is football running in the red? I assume so. Being a private school they don't have to disclose their operating costs / net / losses.
Even then, I find it hard to believe they would outright drop the program. Stanford blew ass for like 15 years and they didn't cut it. Why do it now?
No school needs football money to stay afloat. Even with the crazy amount of TV revenue that has flooded the sport the past 10 years, School operating budgets dwarf football budgets.
For example, UCLA's operating budget was 9 Billion in 2021.
