The Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup is a program that honors institutions maintaining a broad-based program and celebrates those programs achieving success in many sports, both men’s and women’s. Beginning in 1993-94 for Division I by NACDA and USA Today, it was expanded in 1995-96 to include Division II, III and the NAIA. Each institution is awarded points in a predetermined number of sports for men and women.
