this will be the highest finish for the ags, maybe a top 10!

gonna be a great finish. With strong finishes by M&W golf, M&W track, baseball, softball- we should definitely finish top 10.

oh- and I think we get points for both mens and women's tennis too! great job by everyone.

When do the results come out?

When the seasons are all over

Which is when? Isn't school over? I guess it would include the playoffs too, right?

Seriously? Golf, Track & Field, Softball, Baseball?

The next score update is May 29th, then June 11th, and the final totals for 2007-2008 will be June 26th.

the directors cup takes the ncaa post-season finish of 20 sports (10 men/10 women) of each school, i believe they will have updated standings tomorrow (may 29th)
Kline beat me to it

We moved from 21st to 20th.

Still have Men's golf, Softball, Baseball, and Track left.

stanford easily running away with it, as always...

Thanks Kline & Chickity. That was the answer that i needed.

I still think a few tweaks are in order. One, if only a dozen teams compete, you can't possibly get 100 points for a title when you have 200 teams competing for MBB for instance and that champion only gets 100 points. Forget the "this sport is more important than that sport argument", and lets all agree that certain sports are not contested at all. How many mens gymnstics teams are there anyway?



Second, there needs to be more stratification between top performers and medicority. USC gets 100 points for winning womens golf. Ok, seems fair. UCLA gets 90 for finishing second. Reasonable. Here comes Washington and they get 24 points for finishing 49th. Really? They get a quarter the credit as the national champion and they finsihed 49th? I think a national champion >>> four 49th place finishes.

reaching the championship series in softball will help!

Regional Championships in both men and womens track and field

Big sports with lots of competitors (team wise) and with more student athletes involved should be weighted more.

No doubt. The way the NCAA does it now is idiotic.

is it better to penalize a school that has men's volleyball or penalize a school that does not have men's volleyball?

First of all, the Director's Cup is not an NCAA "thing." The Director's Cup is controlled by the NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Athletics Directors).

Stanford wins consistently because they field a wide variety of sports and they do well in most of them. The Director's Cup counts 10 mens and 10 womens sports in Div 1. We only have 7 mens sports so we can only score points in 7. Stanford fields 16 mens sports!

We improved to #16 with the most recent results released today that includes mens golf and softball.

For those of you with Ags Only access, look at a thread I put on there looking at it solely on the sports we participate in.

FYI, we'd be 7th overall based on just our sports and stand a good chance to finish top 5.
