Princeton Seventh In Directors' Cup Standings
December 20, 2018 | General
LEARFIELD DIRECTORS' CUP CURRENT STANDINGS
The recently concluded fall season for Princeton Athletics was so good that the Tigers didn't even need to get any additional Directors' Cup points to stay among the Division I elite.
Princeton joined four ACC schools, three Big Ten schools, perennial champion Stanford and West Coast Conference school BYU to make up the top 10 of the latest release of the Learfield Directors' Cup. There will be one final update for the fall season, on Jan. 10.
The Directors' Cup uses NCAA championship participation and success to measure the top overall athletic programs in the country.
Princeton is currently seventh in the standings, directly ahead of Duke, North Carolina and North Carolina State. The Tigers debuted at second after getting points for men's and women's cross country and field hockey and then were third in the second release after additional points for men's and women's soccer and men's water polo were added. Even without any additional points, Princeton was still solidly in the top 10.
Princeton is the highest FCS school, and no other Ivy League school is higher than 68th.
Princeton was the only non-Power Five conference school in the top 40 last year. The highest finish ever for Princeton was 21st, in the 2001-02 academic year.
