Under the circumstances, our teams fare well and have for a number of years in the nacda cup thanks to our coaches, athletes and the academic support system that is in place. I'm just upset because we couldn't mount the surfboard on Ditka's fireplace mantle this year! Now that's prestige.

: It didn't help our cause that baseball and

: year. Track and field, another NCAA team
: from 2008, failed to score points this year.
: A men's basketball Big Dance appearance
: could have helped too. Step your game up,

: 1) It DOES help to have many teams because
: I
: think they only use your best 12 post season
: performances or whatever, so a Stanford has
: many more opportunities to do well, and they
: can hide their sports that are off in a
: particular year.
:
: 2) 1 National Championship or one huge
: run(which I agree is huge...ask UCSB a few
: years ago with Soccer, or UCI with VB last
: year) gets you huge points, as well as
: national notoriety. LB did respectably in
: this because they had so many womens sports
: win their AQ in the BW, but I do not think
: any of them advanced past the first
: round...that is a BCS issue.

: IMHO you put a lot of weight into these
: standings. First of all it is a national
: competition, not just among the Big West,
: that involves all the Division 1 schools and
: sports. Secondly points are awarded to
: whats most important, NCAA post season play,
: not just conference titles. The UCI men's
: basketball program would trade all their
: regular season Big West championships to go
: dancing once.
:
: I think how many teams a school fields is
: not that relevant. A school can field 30+
: teams but if they're all mediocre they won't
: get any points. These standings award
: excellence in NCAA tournament play plain and
: simple. That's why in my eyes these
: standings are more prestigious than those of
: the Commissioner's Cup. The Commi Cup is
: flawed in excluding sports like men's
: volleyball, men's waterpolo, etc.
:
: Long Beach finished top 3 among the Big West
: this year but again there's no release on
: the athletic website mentioning these
: standings.
: If 49ers are not familiar with this
: competition it is only because Long Beach
: St. probably hasn't fared well in past
: standings.

: Big West schools:
: #65 - UC Irvine

: #110 - UC Santa Barbara
: #150 - Cal State Fullerton
: #153 - UC Davis
: #197 - UC Riverside
: #235 - Cal State Northridge
: -- - Pacific

: I don't know how much weight you put into
: this standing, but I tend to think that the
: formula works in favor of the schools that
: field a team in 30+ sports. Must explain why
: Stanford has topped this list every year
: except once.
