quote:
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. CBS Sports tweaked the formula in 2013, providing additional weight toward sports with more broad fan bases 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 puts 2.5 times as much emphasis on football and 2.0 times the emphasis on men's basketball compared to women's basketball and the "wild cards." 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 men's NIT 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.

That seems like a dumb reason to weigh things differently.

So it's not equal across the board - each school has their best wild card sport counted, which can be chosen from almost everything but football
No equestrian? List is shite.

Well that's just stupid.

Football, Men's Basketball and Women's Basketball are included for everyone. Then after that the school's 2 best NCAA sport finishes are chosen.

And an equal number of people think the Director's Cup is stupid as evidenced by the thread on it a week or two ago

No equestrian? Garbage list.
On a more serious note how can they leave off the global sport of golf, but include regional sports of lacrosse, hockey, and wrestling? Vandy, LSU, Auburn, and UGA all finished in the Top 15 in golf this year.

I'll take a top ten finish in what I think was a down year.
Football definitely took a leap forward, but basketball and baseball took a step back.

Makes sense when you think of the Athletic Department as a revenue generator.
If you think of it in terms of university prestige, then the formulas would be vastly different.
It is kind of telling when you look at the team that won the national title in the sport with the most point potential (Clemson) finishing 14th, but UVa winning the 2nd most lucrative is much higher thanks to winning one of the wild card championships.
Also 4 teams finished with 0 points. Two from Texas.

And that's with Men's Tennis not counting as a wildcard. That would have been a great 5th sport to count.

Why the difference between BB and Football ? Should be weighted the same.
Posted on 7/11/19 at 10:41 am to BulldogDX
What did they count as our two wild cards then? I'm sure Baseball was one.

Men's Basketball doesn't get popular until the NCAA Tournament. Every single game in College Football is popular.
Now certainly the argument could be made that the postseason for college basketball as a whole is more popular than the postseason for college football. But it isn't by much. And really for the most part football has just always just been that sport.

What is the bigger contract: NCAA Basketball or CF?
