The Directors' Cup rankings start with the Fall 2023 season and end with sports that conclude by June of 2024.

So who spends the most and performs like a donkey? Cup and Revenue/Expenses ranked below.

Current Cup Rankings:

W. - Women; M. - Men; CC - cross country; FH - field hockey; FB - football; Soc - soccer; VB - volleyball; WP - water polo

This ranking is for Fall 23 and Spring 24. You are referring to the prior season.

meaninless and only Football for the major sports is completed.

Who care about Mens and Womens Cross country, Women's Field hockey, Mend/Womens Soccer (which a lot of schools dont have mends soccer because of title IX), womens voleyball and mens water polo.........


thats the only listed sports.... and with all the "zero" scores means schools dont have that as a sport


Stats should be how do each teams rank on the high revenue sports vs finish result. not on all varsity sports offered.

Your constant seeking attention for having a swimming and diving program is so embarrassing

If the Director's Cup mattered, then Stanford would be the most desirable program in college sports. But instead, they are going to the ACC without receiving media payouts for years.

I am 100% unconcerned about any ranking system which puts mens basketball and football at parity with water polo and volleyball. Most of those sports are as meaningful as coed flag football at the rec center.

Congrats on your success at soccer or sorry for your disappointing mens cross country season I guess.

texsa has a bunch of figs that are good at standing around in banana hammocks together at the pool, in between jumping off of diving boards for which they win ribbons or something.

Additionaly, they have he/shes who participate in indoor volleyball who also win ribbons. For this, they are awarded something called a "directors cup", which nobody on the diving team apparently wears at the pool.

North Carolina is ranked #1 with 372.50 points, and 347.50 of those come from women’s cross country, men’s cross country, women’s field hockey, women’s soccer, and men’s soccer. Whoever came up with that statistical analysis is either way too into gay sports or a complete fricking retard

That's sorta what the Capital One Cup does. MBB and especially football get more points than the other sports.

I'd put auburn against anyone for inefficiency of spending vs return. They blow money like a drunk Freeze at a stripper club.
