Title: HURT: Can UA be a Top 10 sports school? Post by: pmull on June 27, 2011, 11:11:22 AM It has stretched almost into July, but the college sports year is about to come to an end in a few days when Florida and South Carolina finally settle the NCAA baseball championship. Regardless of who wins in Omaha, it will assure the Southeastern Conference of its fifth NCAA (or BCS) national championship this season: Auburn in football, Alabama in women's gymnastics and Florida in men's indoor track and women's tennis. (SEC member Kentucky also won the NCAA rifle championship, although that is technically not an SEC sport.)
It also means the year-end tabulation of "all sports" awards. That has generally been the National Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Learfield Cup, although this year, Capital One has also created its own award and since it has a tie-in with ESPN, it is the one that will likely get the most attention. The primary difference is that while NACDA counts all sports as equal, Capital One has a more restrictive points system and awards "triple points" for the most "popular" sports. http://alabama.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1235014 Title: Re: HURT: Can UA be a Top 10 sports school?
