They should rename it the Stanford Cup. Has anyone else ever won it?

Doesn't Stanford have like 30 sports that hardly anybody else has?

Need to eliminate all sports not played in at least 3 of the Power Five conferences
M Water Polo
M Volleyball
Are some that come to mind, spotting the PAC 200 to 500 points every year will always assure they can win the cup every year.

They should really figure out a way to even out things based on number of sports played.
I mean come on with some of these sports Stanford wins.
Mens Fencing : 27 participating schools
Mens Water Polo : 22 participating schools
Womens Water Polo : 33 participating schools
Mens Gymnastics : 15 participating schools
Men's Volleyball : 23 participating schools
Like, GTFOH with those counting the same as Track, Baseball, Basketball, Football, etc.

SEC fans need to get over the snobbery about sports not called "football".
These are real sports and most are highly competitive.
Stanford and others make a real effort to involve their students in as many intermural and intramural sports as possible.
How could this be a bad or undesirable thing?

Each sport's points should be pro-rated on the number of participants. Then a sport with 200 teams would count 10x the points vs a sport with 20.

They are sports played by less than 30 other schools. 2 of the sports don't even have 25 other participants. They are club sports played amongst roughly 20 private schools. They should not be weighed the same as sports played by 100+ schools.
There are lots of other sports that are played by the same general D1 schools (baseball, softball, womens basketball, mens basketball, track, golf, etc). They should be used as the metric. Not a sport played by only Stanford, Cal, UCLA, USC and the Ivy League.

Cool? So does every other college?

Nobody said it was bad. It's great. Good for them. They shouldn't be weighted for a ranking of an athletic department award (and it's just added while other schools get 0 points). It's like having 50 guys in your recruiting class vs everyone else having 20 and taking the total stars to decide who was the best.

You mean Denver isn't the 4th best NCAA Athletic Department in America? I'm shocked!

They're rewarding schools that offer a diversity of scholarship athletics.
Stanford offers 36 varsity sports. Alabama, LSU and Florida have 21.

Stanford has a 15 to 20 billion dollar endowment
Alabama + LSU + Florida has what 2 billion or so combined?
One of the worst robber barons in US history establishes a private university and buys its way to the top to clean his image in his old age.
