This is bogus "Click Bait"


Jul 5, 2018, 2:53 PM

Besides the fact that I personally do not care about this made up competition. It is obvious that the criteria is slanted to those institutions that have a greater pool of men's and women's sports to pull from. The only criteria is it has to be 19 or 20 sports, half women's half men's, "Four of which must be Baseball and Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball and Women's Volleyball." So, if you have a school that has 32 sponsored programs (like Stanford) can cherry pick the remaining teams with the highest average and boost there overall score. This is why Stanford has won this award 24 years in a row. Clemson only has 19 sponsored programs (if I am not mistaken) so like it or not they have to use all of there teams whether or not they did well in competition or not. While other schools can use their championship in competitive basket weaving, and women's bass fishing to round out the top 19.

Re: TNET: Clemson athletics rank in lower tier of Power 5 average


Jul 5, 2018, 3:13 PM

I wouldn't say this is bogus BS. The criteria may not be fair (don't know) I tried to read it the other day and some of the websites wouldn't come up. Anyway, it does say we need to do better in ALL sports.

I know some of you could careless about Men's or Wimmens sports other than football but having a top rating in this could tip a potential recruit for various other sports like Tennis, Golf, VB, and basketball m & w. Call it garbage if you want but it ticks me off we're ranked 52nd. If Florida and UGA can be consistently in the top ten then why can't Clemson?

As stated above we probably won't ever be number one because of the number of programs.
my personal opinion is I'd like to be tops and competing in every sport year end and year out both academically and athletically. We seem to have a handle on academically. I just hope DRAD takes it more serious than a lot of fans. Whatever system Florida has, seems to have worked for the last two decades and they take every sport serious.

Jul 5, 2018, 4:22 PM

Like HS track meets - the more participates, the greater the odds and the more potential points you can achieve.
Schools like Stanford, UCLA, Penn St. have HUGE athletic programs sponsoring teams in every sport imaginable. They get points from all of the little sports that CU doesn't and won't have. Easy to see how the Directors Cup is weighted for the large schools with greater participation in all the possible sports.

considering a sweet 16 appearance in MBB
another CFP appearance,
top 10 mens soccer team,

solid track programs,
Men's golf deep tournament run,
women's golf won a regional,
women's tennis made the NCAA tournament 2nd round
baseball top 10 seed nationally


I mean that's more successful sports than non successful ones. Poor seasons in women's basketball, volleyball and men's tennis really hurt that badly in this metric?

Re: the only thing I can think is that they weight very elite

What would you consider "a really solid sport"? I would say that you'd need to be a program that finishes Top 25 at least 3 out of 5 years.

How many sports other than football does Clemson do that? All I can think is baseball and maybe men's soccer?

I understand what you all are saying and T I P, I’m not concerned about getting beat out by Stanford, UCLA.

I’ll try to find the link again but I looked at this the other day and they had rankings for the last 30 years... I think. Know it went back to 90’s and the programs that concern me was how Florida, Texas, uga, tosu, and Michigan were all close to or consistently in top 15 and we were rarely close to the top 25.

Not a problem to go All In in FB, but Clemson is Clemson and I want when people hear Clemson, they think dominance in all sports both athletically And Academically!!! Don’t want to hear we’re a small school. It can and should be done.

Now, all that said, some of the blame lies with the SC hs system and schools that’s a complete mess. Athletically as well as academically.

Re: class of 09 nailed it


Jul 5, 2018, 8:39 PM [ in reply to less than 100 D1 schools have wrestling ]

These are Olympic sports classifications brought into the NCAA by very lucrative athletic programs.

If we had both Rowing and Lightweight Rowing for Women's, and Rowing for Men's, how far would we have to travel--with our 'boats'--in order to compete?

M/W Gymnastics? That's SEC-B1G stuff
M/W Water Polo?
M/W Fencing?
M/W Lacrosse and W Field Hockey?
W Squash?
Can't you see someone's daughter coming to the shores of Lake Hartwell to win an NCAA championship in Beach Volleyball?

What i find utterly mind-boggling is that these programs are not temporary based on the enrollment of some very committed kids, but these schools have invested in world class coaches and in some cases facilities, too--and then some schmuck says Clemson is not getting enough bang for its buck.

So having facilities and 3 full-time coaches for an athletic program that wins a championship no one cares about with 6 athletes IS getting bang for your buck? And I'm not talking about the rest of the world not caring, i mean the Stanford students and fans. Stanford athletes have to learn not to expect fan support cause they rarely get any (at least at the Stanford events i attended.) Heh, heh. Of course, i was always cheering for the opposition.

Re: maybe a good idea


Jul 5, 2018, 11:59 PM

When you look at the athletic blue bloods ahead of us (almost all with incredible endowments, regardless of their current football prowess), it becomes obvious: these guys aren't working the system (as i initially thought); they ARE the system.

Every school that wins a championship must have competitors. What if John Heisman's sport had not spread outside the South? National championships would be easy today! So instead of starting more sports like softball, where we are playing some serious catch up to the blue bloods, let's contact some regional competitors like FSU, UVA, even UNC (I'm gonna puke) and discuss some potential new varsity teams where we might become good very quickly. Or at least make the top 4 nationally.

Olympic Cycling has a good future.
Team racquetball or badminton.
Various shooting sports should be natural.
Rythmic gymnastics.
Whitewater kayaking. What a regional sport!

this article is a Yahoo writer doing a 5-year average of the director's cup. But we were actually even lower than that for 2017-18 at 52nd. It's pretty much because all sports are weighted equally and it counts the best 19 scores. We only have 16 sports. I think we scored points for 8 sports, which means we counted 11 zeroes. Stanford has 36 sports, so they get to pick their best 19 out of 36. I'd also assume it's easier to do well in those niche sports that only have a handful of teams competing.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: that seems inaccurate


Jul 5, 2018, 9:49 PM

Stanford may have 36 sports, but there are only 29 sports eligible for D1 in the Directors cup

http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/nacda/sports/directorscup/auto_pdf/2016-17/misc_non_event/bracketdef.pdf

Baseball, M/W basketball, and WVB (??) must be included in the score. Then it is the top 15 sports other than those.

Re: that seems inaccurate

Darn, this info stymies my idea.

Nevertheless, if we can pretend to be a blue blood, we can create interest at other institutions, and then petition the NCAA to allow entry to the Director's Cup from these new introductory sports.

I don't know, really. Would we? Ever?

Sure, even a blue blood would love to be a perennial CFP finalist like Clemson.

But i gotta figure they believe they're reaping benefits from this Director's Cup thing, or they wouldn't be so heavily invested in it. Maybe it's because they are set up to expand in Women's Sports, and 60% of students are women, and female athletes don't require (command) scholarships like males do. So they will be perpetuating their athletic programs at bargain rates, the wave of the future.

Or something. I don't know. All i know is that blue bloods don't like to lose, but they lose to Dabo quite graciously. Maybe they're willing to concede football so long as we never look behind door #2 labeled "Women's Programs."
