The Directors' Cup scoring is based off of NCAA Championship competition. This fall, four sports for Berry participated in NCAA championship competition that led to more points for the institution.
Looking forward to the Winter, men and women's basketball along with a few individuals from swim could potentially bring in more points to push Berry up in the rankings.
The formal recognition of the Directors' Cup winners for Divisions II, III and the NAIA will occur during the NACDA & Affiliates Convention as part of the Awards Presentations during an All-Associations Featured Session. Due to the College World Series (baseball) ending in late June, the Directors' Cup standings for Division I may not be finalized until after the Convention. However, if the teams competing in the College World Series do not affect the overall winner for Division I, then the Directors' Cup winner for Division I will also be honored in-person at the Convention. If the overall winner cannot be determined, the top five institutions will be recognized during the Convention, but the Directors' Cup will be presented at a later date.
