The annual NACDA Directors Cup standings were released this morning, which measures post-season performance across all NCAA sports. With its football title last fall, North Dakota State finished 92nd overall. Coastal Carolina, winners of the CWS, finished 89th.

The top ten in the subdivision:

33. Princeton
60. Pennsylvania
62. Harvard
72. Georgetown
74. Villanova
77. Yale
81. Cornell
82. Dartmouth
85. New Hampshire

72. Georgetown
74. Villanova


This will surely appease the Casual posters. Perhaps they can speculate about how much more separation there will be once you reclaim the title of better all time bball program, in their delusions that you ever held such a distinction.

I've seen Georgetown near the top of many of these all-sports ratings. Currently, which sports contribute the most points for you?

Certainly not basketball, with one NCAA bid in the past four years. Lacrosse has also fallen way off the map, with no NCAA invitations since 2007.

Right now, the most proficient post-season sports are cross country, indoor track, soccer, and golf. Football obviously isn't in the post-season, and a number of other sports (baseball, field hockey, men's and women's swimming, softball) have never made an NCAA tournament of any kind. Georgetown's most successful sport of late is sailing, but that is a non-NCAA sport and does not count in the NACDA totals.

It is endemic of Georgetown's gaping facilities deficit that cross country and track fuel its post-season success, given that the track programs have not had a home track of their own for 20 years, owing in part to the fact that Kehoe Field was condemned as an intercollegiate field and has never been repaired. The teams trained at a high school in Northern Virginia because that's all they could get.

Meanwhile, still no word on the football facility timeline. As of July 1, 2016, that's 3,940 days since construction was halted on the Multi-Sport Facility and 268 days since the announcement of the Cooper family gift, with no public statement to next steps.
