Good job, MT.  A couple of corrections.  N. Carolina did not score in rowing.  That belongs to Ohio St.  The score needs to be subtracted from N. Carolina's total.  It has already been included in Ohio St.'s score even though it isn't listed.  Also, I believe Stanford might receive only 73 points in baseball, so their minimum would be 1190.75.  Other than that, we differ only by a point or 2 mainly in the T&F in the ties.

Thanks for catching that.  I also added back in UNC's W O T&F as the 15th event.   I've corrected it in the post above.
You did the major work on this.  Did you figure out the correct scores in face of ties for all spring sports?

The difference between N. Carolina & Florida  and between UCLA & Ohio State are within the error for ties.

There are so many what-ifs.  I didn't realize until now that the top three teams tied in points in Rowing.  The tie-breaker was varsity eights where Texas beat Stanford by 1.5 seconds. Change that (or if Stanford placed better in any event), and it is a 20 point swing (theoretically enough to win the cup, pending baseball).

Stanford scoring in 6 sports was dropped.  Texas had none dropped.  Drop one less and the winner would be whomever gets more points in baseball (Texas, if they tie).

Obviously there are the sports we are normally among the top, but we didn't even make the tournament.  But with the dropping of scores for this cup, we would have needed to finish pretty high if we only had scored in one non-WVB sport.  (for instance, a net of 30 points if we got 4th in W SOC)  But a 17th place in WVB would have added a net of 50 points.  MBB is another sport we could have gotten 25 points if we had made the tourney.

By the way, Texas won the first game of their super-regional with a bottom of the 9th inning run after 2 outs and an error.  Ouch.
