Thanks for the update, BigEasy! Do you know off the top of your head if we scored in all 10 men's sports last year, or the number of points for our tenth scoring sport? Just trying to get a sense of what we are likely to lose from the non-score in basketball, if anything.

You're welcome.  Not from the top of my head, but from my trusty spreadsheet,  Wrestling, Baseball, and Golf all score 50 points in positions 8 through 10 last year.  Men's ITF scored 23 in 11th.  Fencing was counted in 7th position for 60 points on the Men's side.

Got it. So now that it's MFB, MBB, WVB & WBB + 15 best other sports, in theory we could have more than 10 women's sports score if our 9th best women's score is better than our 7th best men's, etc., right? In other words, we no longer care about breaking down our points by gender, just the top 15 points scores by sport. So on the one hand, while the new system hurts us insofar as we had depth to score in all 20 sports, and we don't always score in MBB, now we can use our traditional strength in women's sports to offset, right?
