Hey, The Dance Team is great. Reasons obvious.

: Big Dance--I think you forgot that our big

: It didn't help our cause that baseball and
: men's volleyball didn't make NCAAs this
: 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
: #85 - Cal Poly
: #103 - Long Beach State
: #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.
