three...two...one....

How did aggy and OU do this year in the directors cup?
#1 Texas @ 1,252 points
#19 Aggy @ 846 points
#24 OU @ 775 points

Interestingly or oddly, I can not find football on the scoring chart.

UT Arlington finished 287th with a total of 13 points. WEAK!

If you have enough sports that qualify for points then you only count the top 19 performing ones and because Texas had higher point totals from other sports, football ended up not being one that Texas needed to use. Look at Bama's total they got points for being CFP champions and aggy got points for their number four finish.

So we had 19 sports out point football? That's enough to get Tommy fired.

YES!!! It's about time that the Stanford run ended. CDC deserves some great credit for the accomplishments of the Athletic Department. Now - keep it going!

The chart I saw at the website shows the tabulation only for the spring sports. Note there were columns on the far right that summarized winter and fall sports.

How did Horn.s finish when Texas had strong and herman as head coaches

 

[Statalyzer]

Pretty impressive considering all the extra low-competition-numbers sports they compete in that we don't.

Something that makes that even more impressive is Stanford fields teams in 36 NCAA sports. Texas only fields 18. Did they change the scoring method?

Yes.

Division I schools can score points in a maximum of 19 sports, four of which must be baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball and women's volleyball.

Football was used.

We scored in the four mandatory sports and 13 of the remaining 15 slots.

That's why Stanford always won. They play more sports than anyone and are good in most of them.

I wonder why those 4 specifically?

 

[UTexRulz23]

I wonder why those 4 specifically?

Probably the most mainstream that almost everyone plays.

 

[Duck Dodgers]

I wonder why those 4 specifically?

Because Standford is good in all those 4 sports.

This "award" is similar to the John Madden Excellent in Explosive Power!!! Award, which was usually won, coincidently, by John Madden.
