Stanford wins the cup for the 10th year in a row. This is the mythical trophy awarded to the college that accumulates the most points across ALL their sports programs based on how each performs. GT finished #34, which is outstanding. Why? Because to Cup is structured to give points in a lot of sports where we do not compete, particulary in women's programs.
The women's sports make a big difference as UNC came in at #6 and we beat them in just about every major sport this past season.
