Men's vball might be the biggest DC hit.  Because only the top 10 highest-scoring sports from each of the men's side and women's side are chosen for scoring, a sport would have to perform fairly well to score higher than the other Stanford sports in contention for scoring inclusion.

Many of the cut sports were not NCAA sports, so they would never have counted toward DC points.

IIRC, they changed the scoring a few years ago and no longer segregate and separately tally points for men's and women's and instead it's just the top 15 scores in any sports plus the four required sports (Baseball, Men's and Women's Basketball, and WVB). To the degree a sport like MVB would count, it would be finishing among the top 3, given how quickly points trail off for lower finishes in that sport.
