July 01, 2022 | General
UGA one of nine schools in top-25 every year of 2000s
ATHENS, Ga. — The Georgia Bulldogs wrapped up 2021-22 ranked No. 19 in the LEARFIELD Directors' Cup, the all-sports competition administered by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA).
Georgia is one of nine schools to post top-25 finishes in the Directors' Cup every year during the 2000s, joining Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio State, Southern California, Stanford, Texas and UCLA.
Georgia scored 865 points from performances competing in 15 NCAA Championships over the past year.
The CFP national championship in football was one of six top-10 efforts for the Bulldogs along with women's golf (fifth), men's outdoor track and field (fifth), men's swimming and diving (eighth), men's indoor track and field (eighth) and women's tennis (ninth).
Also contributing points were men's golf (12th), women's swimming and diving (15th), women's basketball (17th), softball (17th), men's tennis (17th), women's gymnastics (25th), baseball (33rd), women's outdoor track and field (45th) and women's indoor track and field (46th).
Georgia's equestrian team finished fifth at the National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA) Championship; however, Directors' Cup points weren't awarded since equestrian is not an NCAA-sponsored sport.
The LEARFIELD Directors' Cup was developed as a joint effort between NACDA and USA Today. Points are awarded based on each institution's finish in NCAA Championships. Overall, 19 sports are counted in Division I, four of which must be women's volleyball and basketball and men's basketball and baseball. The next highest (15 maximum) sports scored for each institution, regardless of gender, are used in the standings.
Since the Directors' Cup's inception in 1994, the Bulldogs have finished in the top-25 of the final standings in every year but one as outlined below.
