Director's Cup final standings.
Thanks to Brian Bennett's blog for pointing this out. Although we may not have "it" in the cash-cow sport, apparently our other sports deserve some congratulations, as we lead the Big East in the final Director's Cup standings. This just goes to show how far Tom Jurich has helped bring this school. Now if we could just get that pesky football team to improve.
08-09: 32nd
07-08: 32nd
06-07: 28th
05-06: 54th
04-05: 50th
1996-1997: 100th

Louisville won just one Big East football game this year, but success in other sports helped the Cardinals finish as the top league team in the final Directors' Cup standings.
The Directors' Cup is an accumulation of points from teams throughout a schools' athletic department. Schools can gain points from 20 total varsity teams, with 10 being men's sports and 10 women's.
Bolstered by a Big East championship in men's basketball and an NCAA title-game appearance in women's basketball, Louisville finished 32nd overall, 18 spots ahead of the nearest Big East competitor, West Virginia.
Despite winning the Big East football crown, Cincinnati had the lowest score among league teams, ranking 129th nationally.
Here are the final standings for each Big East team:
32. Louisville
50. West Virginia
52. Connecticut
63. Syracuse
92. Rutgers
93. Pittsburgh
116. South Florida
129. Cincinnati
