Just for clarification, NCAA is not in charge of the Director's Cup. From the website:DrummerboyWolf said:We should get no worse than a tie for 3rd. Anything else and the NCAA is really trying to shaft us again.Wolfpack1724 said:jadawson said:
It doesn't appear that we even get any directors cup points for our baseball finish. The final standings from today just says "COVID" even though top 4 was guaranteed.
Twist the knife why don't ya...
I wondered if that would be the case - what would a 4th place give us in the directors cup total? When I saw we were 23rd I felt sure something like this was a possibility. We were just like 11th in the last update I believe.
The Learfield IMG College Directors' Cup was developed as a joint effort between the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and USA Today. Points are awarded based on each institution's finish in NCAA Championships. Complete standings and the scoring structure can be found on NACDA's website at www.directorscup.org.
This rule is why we only got 5 points:
COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and/or weather-related cancellations, institutions that earned a spot in an NCAA championship, but were unable to compete received 5 points.
I do not agree with giving us only 5 points. We were able to compete and should be given the points for finishing in the top 4.
