The 2010-2011 Director’s Cup Trophy has been Awarded

All 13 spring NCAA sporting events have finished and Stanford has won their 17^th straight Director’s Cup. For those of you unfamiliar with the Director’s Cup, this honor was first awarded for the 1993-1994 season to the university that placed highest in all 20 predetermined sporting categories for their school. Colleges that participate in the Director’s Cup include all Division 1, Division 2, Division 3, and NAIA universities that officially compete in national collegian sporting events.  

Division 1 schools are evaluated on 20 sports, 10 men and 10 women’s sports.

Division 2 schools are evaluated on 14 sports, 7 men and 7 women’s sports.

Division 3 schools are evaluated on 18 sports, 9 men and 9 women’s sports.

NAIA schools are evaluated on 12 sports, 6 men and 6 women’s sports.

Each school is awarded points for the final ranking of their individual teams. The team sporting events vary from school to school as not all universities participate in the same divisions and/or sporting events.

The Atlantic Coast Conference had three teams in the top 10; Duke, North Carolina, and Florida State.
