This is beyond pathetic....

[getwrecked]

The Learfield Directors' Cup is the all sports standings that is perennially dominated by Stanford, as it is again this year, The ACC looked pretty good. We had 8 teams in the top 22:
UNC - 4th
Syracuse - 6th
UVA - 8th
ND - 9th
NCSU - 17th
Duke - 18th
Louisville - 20
VT - 22

In fact the only ACC school outside the top 100 is GEORGIA TECH at # 148.

We are behind my daughters' 2 schools William and Mary (86) and James Madison (109). We are also behind UTC (101), Albany, BU, Coastal Carolina, Duquesne and UNC - Wilmington (all at 110), Oakland, South Alabama and Vermont (all at 119) -- well you get the picture.

And I know we field the fewest teams in the ACC - yadda, yadda, yadda. Don't want to hear it. Does it put us at a disadvantage? Maybe. It should also allow us to focus more on the teams we have.

Maybe? Of course it puts us at a disadvantage.

And who gives a crap about the Deerfield cup? Baseball, basketball, football, golf. That's it. Get rid of the rest.

I'd kill the baseball and golf teams if I could have two more women's volleyball teams.

If we could stop wasting money on 3 basketball coaches maybe we could afford more sports.

Tech should add:
M/W soccer
M/W lacrosse
M hockey
W gymnastics

Make wrasslin' a scholarship sport again.

Kill the entire athletic program.

Women's field hockey would certainly be a big draw.

Basketball (mens and womens) should be the first to go..

 

[bonham]

I wonder if the fact that we field less teams than alot of the ACC teams on that list has anything to do with our low standing

 

[ramblinwise1]

Title IX for the win

 

[smokey_wasp]

Add bowling.

 

[RamblinWreck09]

Add esports

 

[jdubjacket]

UNC cheated.

 

[GTCrew4b]

We SHOULD add an eSports team that's on a different scholarship system than NCAA and allow them to compete in big tournaments. Rake in the money into our AA with huge prizepools. Probably would have the biggest following on campus too. And the players would get the most action.

Why isn't this in Other Sports?

 

[Diseqc]

Who. Gives. A. öööö?

Jesus. This is some stupid stuff to whine about.

 

[BranMart]

I regret that I have only one big cry to give.

 

[floridajacket]

my daughters

I want to...no, no I can't do that. I really want to, but no.

Why do we care about this? We don't even have a lot of those sports. I mean, it's nice for Stanford and all but I don't see what's so pathetic about it, unless you're suggesting that we need to add some more sports. If so, then I think men's and women's soccer is the obvious 1st choice. The ACC is by far the best soccer conference and GT has plenty of local (and international) talent to recruit so it's a good match.

Why do we care about this?

We dont

This reminds me of Olympics medal tracking. The countries who play the most stupid sports have the most medals. Congratulations, you are a bigger country.
