The National Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) has been ranking athletic programs for years by weighing every sport equally, meaning a football national title is worth the same number of points (100) as a women's water polo title. We tweaked the formula back in 2013 to weigh it more heavily toward sports that generate the broadest base of fan and media interest. We rate every FBS school in three sports -- football, men's basketball and women's basketball -- along with two "wild cards" among the school's most successful spectator sports: baseball, softball, volleyball, soccer, gymnastics, lacrosse, hockey and wrestling.
The weighted formula: Football is 2.5 times as much as the other sports, while men's basketball is worth twice as many points. Teams that did not finish in the final AP Top 25 in football but played in a bowl were awarded 62.5 points (25 x 2.5). Teams that made the NIT, CBI or CIT were given 20 points (10 x 2), while WNIT teams received 10 points. For all titles settled via bracket, point totals were based upon how many teams participated. All champions in the other sports received 100 points for a national title. For example: Florida baseball received 100 points, while its second-place finish in softball received 90 points.

Did not expect us to be 6th, even with the women's basketball title and the men's Final 4 run.

You mean the Athletic Department that 1.) kept a basketball coach that managed to take an expected tourney team to a first round loss in the NIT and 2.) kept a baseball coach that hasn't had a winning season in 4 years and just hired Michigan's pitching coach is only ranked 4th from last in the conference?
Well, this just does not make any sense!

ATM can write a check and buy us all, but can't compete.

But they claim to have the second best Athletic Department in the SEC behind Florida. What gives?

I was okay with 2nd until I saw
But then I saw that UF was only two points behind even with zero points in WBB which no one cares about. So that's not bad.

I''m shocked we're in the top 25 overall sports. I mean football is basically in as good a shape as anyone could hope for....ever. But everything else? Meh. Even our regular heavy hitters, softball and gymnastics, all had very underwhelming years.

A super six and super regional isn't anything to scoff at. But track and field, golf, and swimming/diving had solid years too.

It's really always been this way. Except a bigger gap.

Proves that college baseball is a niche sport.

A niche sport that Alabama is going to be good at again.

What's the difference between these two rankings, other than just massaged formula weightings for the college sports that mean the most monetarily to Columbia Broadcast System?
