I know no one cares:skeptical:, but the final director's cup standings were released today. ISU finished at the same place as last year at 58th, that is also 9th in the Big 12.

Rundown
#1- Stanford
#6- Texas
#13- Texas A&M
#29- Oklahoma
#31- Nebraska
#33- Baylor
#35- Oklahoma State
#36- Missouri
#45- Iowa
#57- Texas Tech
#58- Iowa State
#69- Colorado
#72- Kansas
#77- Kansas State

ISU was ranked higher (just below Missouri) until the spring sports were counted. I guess that would be a good thing about having a baseball team again.

It's unfortunate that no one cares. I guess this goes hand-in-hand with supporting coaches regardless of the success they show on the court / field of play. LSU was 9th in the standings...every team they fielded made it to the NCAA postseason.

Dude, I even agree with you sometimes, but give it a flippin' rest.

I wonder how many points were received for WBB and Wrestling... over half of the points were in the winter.

We were usually ahead of KSU, but KU and CU usually finished ahead of us.

Reinstating men's baseball and men's swimming & diving would help give Iowa State a better chance at competing against other universities that score points for ten men's sports. Remember, points for the Directors' Cup results are scored for an institution's top 10 men's sports and top 10 women's sports. It really puts a school at a disadvantage to field less than ten sports for either gender. The school is already at a disadvantage before the competition begins. Stanford, a university that understands the association between athletic and academic prestige, fields about 33 varsity sports and wins the Directors' Cup year after year because they are able to score points in ten men's sports and ten women's sports.

Not sure about Big 12 comparison, but this is how we have done in the past:

1994-95= 49th
1995-96= 40th
1996-97= 41st
1997-98= 62nd
1998-99= 56th
1999-00= 42nd
2000-01= 54th
2001-02= 58th
2002-03= 107th
2003-04= 123rd
2004-05= 60th
2005-06= 97th
2006-07= 73rd
2007-08= 58th
2008-09= 58th
Average= 65th

I thought BVDV was better than that. He stated it himself.:confused:

Kind of interesting to note the relative success in the Cup, though, through the rather barren football years of the mid 90s.

But you don't get points just for having sports. In baseball, you have to get to the NCAA Tournament to get points. ISU hadn't done that since 1971.

In swimming, the final placing at the NCAA Championships determines points. ISU would have gotten a few points here and there, but not enough to make a difference.

ISU made the tourney in 2001 and men's swimming still has more conference titles than another sport at ISU.
