What do you mean by anyone-but-Stanford scoring penalty?
There were five mandatory sports: Baseball and Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, Women's Volleyball and Women's Soccer. If we make the NCAA tournament in any of the first three, we win. There was a time in the not-at-all-distant past when Stanford would have scored in Baseball and Women's Basketball.
No scoring system is perfect, and I know that the DC tinkers with it every now and again--e.g. they added Women's Soccer to the mandatory list this year, hardly a bias against Stanford.
Having said all that, I would be happy to hear what specifically folks find unfair. For my part, I congratulate Texas on their fourth consecutive win.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
