Scoreboard Watching

In a slight follow up to yesterday’s piece regarding non-revenue sports, I thought I would post the current standings of the Director’s Cup.

If you are new to the Director’s Cup standings (it used to be called the Sears Cup), according to the award’s site, it is an award honoring universities maintaining a broad-based athletic program, achieving success in many sports, both men’s and women’s. Points are awarded based on order of finish in various NCAA sponsored championships or in the case of Division I Football, media-based polls.

Ohio State’s best finish in the competition is 3rd for the 2002-03 school year, followed by a fourth place finish in 2003-04. Incidentally, Stanford has won the award for Division I athletics for 13 straight years, and winning 13 out of the 14 years, having finished second in 1993-94 – the inaugural year – to North Carolina.
