Learfield Directors' Cup (Formerly Sears Directors' Cup)

We choked in softball and baseball, and under-performed in Gymnastics and volleyball, also usually late strengths for us. Skunk bears slipped in ahead of us. It was the Gators' 11th straight top-5 finish. We'll see if the TSUN can sniff a CWS again. Dynasty or flash in the pan? I see some southern school with better weather and facilities taking their coach, frankly.

Still, tOSU and UF remain among the elite athletic programs every year.

Nuts. Had higher hopes than 12th. Thanks Ord, appreciate the work. Maybe we could admit Stanford to the B10? Go Bucks! Really enjoy seeing all the B10ers ahead of the SECers…..

STREAK SNAPPED
If you're under the age of 27, you have not been alive for a time when Stanford didn't win the Director's Cup, an award that crowns the nation's top-performing athletic department.

The Cardinal have claimed the cup for absurd 25-straight times, but that streak has finally been snapped.

FWIW, Ohio State finished 9th: https://nacda.com/documents/2021/7/1//July2OverallDI.pdf?id=4339

The final winter sports have been completed and, with the addition of men’s and women’s gymnastics’ team points from NCAA championship competition, the Ohio State Department of Athletics continues its fine 2022-23 athletics season by holding on to third place in the LEARFIELD Directors’ Cup standings.

Perhaps the longest 'win' streak in sports.....

This one (i.e. 25 wins in a row) is impressive too:
The honour of the longest winning streak in sporting history, purely in terms of time, belongs to the New York Yacht Club, who won the America's Cup 25 times over a 132-year period.

A prolific winter sports season has propelled Ohio State to a sizable lead in the Directors’ Cup standings.

Ohio State now has 858 points in this year’s Directors’ Cup standings, nearly 100 points more than second-place Texas (758.75), which has just a 4.25-point edge over third-place Stanford (754.5). The Buckeyes’ climb to the lead comes with five top-six finishes for its winter sports teams.

Eight total winter sports teams have scored Directors’ Cup points for the Buckeyes, led by the women’s hockey team, who earned 90 points for Ohio State with its runner-up finish at the Frozen Four. The wrestling team earned 80 points with its fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. The fencing team earned 75 points for its fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championships, the women’s swimming and diving team earned 73.5 points for its sixth-place NCAA finish and the women’s basketball earned 73 points after it tied for fifth with its run to the Elite Eight.

Men’s swimming and diving (66 points for 11th place), women’s indoor track and field (55.5 points for 18th place) and men’s indoor track and field (32 points for 41st place) also added points for the Buckeyes.

Ohio State’s lead will grow even further following this weekend’s conclusion of the season for men’s hockey, where Ohio State also made the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. Points scored by Ohio State’s men’s and women’s gymnastics this winter will also be included in the next standings update, which is scheduled for April 20.
