The ones that didn't make it this year are Field Hockey, Men's Basketball, Men's Volleyball, and Beach Volleyball. Did I miss any?
So if Stanford will score in 27 sports and have 18 of those count toward its Directors' Cup total it looks like we'll have nine non-counting scores. It'll be fun to see how many P5 schools will have a lower point total than the sum of those nine non-counting scores.
Stanford has so far dropped football (45 points), fencing (54), women's gymnastics (55.5), and wrestling (34). That's 188.5 points, which would be good enough in the current standings for 78th. Softball (which I believe will be 37.5 points) and women's lacrosse (25) will also be dropped. Rowing should displace men's swimming (60). Then it's just a question of how well the men's and women's outdoor T&F teams do. The next 2 scores to be displaced would be women's indoor T&F (63.75) and men's tennis (64). Those 9 sports total 438.75 points. That's the maximum possible. Comparing this total to last year's final scores, 438.75 would have placed 56th. There were 3 non-power 5 schools in the top 55: Princeton (40th), BYU (45), and Denver (47).
