Look at Stanford. They pull 100 points for women's water polo? The same as Florida for men's T&F, as the national champion?

The Director's Cup is a measure of athletics spending, more than anything else. It is not weighted properly to truly award the best overall program. A national championship in a sport that only fields 40 teams should only give 40 points to the winner. A national championship in a sport that fields 250 teams should award 250 points.

It is about as meaningless as it can get.
Hopefully, VT won't get any points from that perspective.
