btw there is of course $ cost to stanford in waiting. maples seats 7000. if average paid attendance drops from 5000 to 1000 that's 4000 seats x average price of $22 (range from $15 to 30). around $90,000 + per game + say $10k in refreshments. x 15 home games is  somewhere around 1.5 million. hosting ncaa 1st and 2nd rounds is about another $200k. so 1.7 million lost in revenue each year til we get competitive again. is kate's buyout more than 1.7 million?

and that doesn't count turning off donors.
