I don't think my statement that baseball clinched the Cup in any way represents a disrespect to other point-scoring teams at Stanford who have contributed.  You can guess correctly that of the Stanford teams, baseball isn't even my first allegiance.  I'm just saying that as a Stanford fan who watched the Director's Cup point totals come down to the wire, it was pretty exciting that the Cup has been secured again after an unlucky season last year from many teams.

Last year, Texas had 4 national titles and 6 2nd place finishes.  Stanford's best year is arguably 2018-19 when they won 6 national titles and had 1 2nd place finish.  Give Texas credit for a phenomenal year rather than say Stanford faltered.

Texas only has 9 men's sports and 12 women's sports, so they have to hope that almost all their teams get into the NCAA tournaments.  Last year, Texas had to count 25 points for women's soccer and 27 points for women's cross country.  Stanford's lowest score was 60.75 in women's gymnastics.  There were 6 sports whose scores didn't count.
