Wow. I didn't see that coming. They're a big school.

Someone said they had 38 sports before this. It is pretty major to drop 11 of them. I wonder how many other schools will make some big cuts.

Bingo.

The connections you get at Ivy schools are what sets those graduates apart. The academics are unquestionably more rigorous, but it's not what you know - it's who you know.

i agree with this with one edit. it's not who you know, it's who knows you.

Ivy to postpone fall sports, possibly having them in spring. NO winter sports until after Jan 1.

While i am shocked to see this, I am curious if these cuts had anything to do with the recent college admissions scandal.

It would be perfect timing I suppose.

I have to wonder if they looked at Title IX when dropping the sports, but most are club sports at most schools in the list I saw and split pretty evenly among women's and men's sports. I'm not surprised at all sports like Volleyball weren't dropped with how much of a national power they are.

I would think a school as visible as STANFORD has a specialist in their legal department who works full time on compliance with ALL city, state and federal laws including, but not limited to, Title IX

I agree, which is why I commented on it seemed an almost even split on men's and women's sports. Most of them were things like rowing, which don't have many athletes or fans but I'm sure the equipment for rowing isn't cheap either. I like the way though that they will be honoring all the scholarships.

That's the least they can do, I feel bad for those athletes. Competition in any college sport is tough, but it's super competitive at the D1 level.
