Director's Cup

[MJWilliamson]

Florida is currently #8, with a strong possibility of moving well into the top five, given that we still have at least five highly ranked programs to complete the spring sports

Baseball #1
Softball # 1
W Lacross #2
W Tennis #3
M Tennis #11

While several teams ahead of us are also doing well in some of those sports, I do not believe any of them have ranked teams in all those five sports. So we could well move up.

Stanford 1102.5 (ranked in Tennis and Lacross)
Ohio State 868 (ranked in Tennis, Softball and Lacross)
Michigan 782.5 (ranked in softball)
Minnesota 718.25
Penn State 667.5 (ranked in Lacross)
North Carolina 594 (ranked in both Men's and Women's Tennis, Lacross)
Notre Dame 589.75 (ranked in Lacross)
Florida 589 (rand see above)

Not sure if there are any other sports yet to finish the spring season

Golf and Track should score points too.

.@FloridaGators sweep 2015-16 #SEC All-Sports titles for 15th time (overall, men, women). #UF only school ever to do that. #GoGators #Gators

It looks like-
3rd if we win an NC baseball
5th if we don't

Another finish in the Top 10 every year they've been giving out this award. I think we're the only school that can make that claim, with the possible exceptions of Stanford & UCLA.

With 12 top-10 finishes, including a national championship in men’s outdoor track and field, the success of the University of Florida’s athletic program continues to be recognized.

The Gators finished fifth in the 2015-16 Learfield Sports NACDA Directors’ Cup standings, the school’s eighth consecutive top-five finish.

"You have to admire the effort and drive shown by these Gators and their coaches,” UF athletics director Jeremy Foley said. “They represented the University of Florida exceptionally well on and off the field throughout the year."

The Directors’ Cup recognizes the schools with the best overall sports performances in an academic year. Points are awarded based on finishes in 20 NCAA Division I sports.

The 2015-16 Directors’ Cup is likely the last for Foley, 63, who announced June 13 he will retire Oct. 1 after 25 years as UF’s athletics director.

During his tenure, the Gators won national championships in 13 sports and claimed the SEC All-Sports Trophy in every year except 2005-06. Before Foley, the Gators had won just nine national championships across five sports.

He’s the only athletics director in NCAA Division I history to lead a program that won multiple national championships in football (1996, 2006, 2008) and men’s basketball (2006, 2008).

Stanford finished in first place with 1,526.5 points, followed by Ohio State and Michigan with 1,306 and 1,196.75 points, respectively. The Gators finished with 1,177 points.

UF is the only program in the nation to finish in the top-10 in each of the last 33 national all-points standings.

Florida is the only SEC program in the top 10, with Texas A&M and Georgia finishing in 12th and 15th, respectively.

The men’s outdoor track and field team took its third NCAA title since 2012 on June 10 in Eugene, Oregon. It secured the seventh straight season a Gators team has won a NCAA team title.

"What a great finish by Florida's men's outdoor track & field team, as they claimed their third NCAA title since 2012,” Foley said. “Gator teams competed among the nation's best all season long, as 19 Gator teams were in postseason action.”

Impressive run for certain

The buzz right now is that Florida's looking to build a standalone football facility where the O'Dome parking lot is.
