Stanford Wins 25th Straight Directors' Cup as the Most Successful Athletic Department in the Country By Team Performance Rankings

It's official, and a pleasure, especially as a Stanford Law School graduate, to report via Pac-12.com, that Stanford University has won an incredible 25th straight Directors' Cup as the country's most successful athletic department by team performance rankings in NCAA Division I championship competitions, as

"the Cardinal posted 16 top five finishes [and six national championships] in tallying a record 1,567.75 points."

In the 2018-2019 school year athletic performance rankings, Stanford is followed in the top five by the universities of Michigan, Florida, Texas and USC. See the full results via NACDA at https://nacda.com/documents/2019/6/27//June28DIOverall.pdf or see the complete list at the end of this posting, from top-ranked Stanford to the 295th-placed Division I school, of the Learfield IMG College Directors’ Cup rankings.

As written at PaloAltoOnline.com:

"The Cardinal has won at least one NCAA championship during each of the last 43 school (not calendar) years, dating to 1976-77. In total, Stanford varsity teams have won a record 123 NCAA championships (66 men, 57 women) and 149 national titles overall."

GoStanford.com tells us in addition that Stanford Cardinal athletes have

"produced at least one medalist in every Olympics in which the U.S. has competed since 1912."

At the Wikipedia we can read that:

"In 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, the university with most Olympic medals in the U.S. is Stanford University (27 medals), followed by UC Berkeley (22 medals) and University of Southern California (21 medals); University of Florida (13 medals) and UT Austin (13 medals) tied for 4th place." [emphasis added]

However, USC ("Southern Cal") still leads Stanford (in second place) by a slim margin in the total number of Olympic medals won all time, while UCLA is 3rd, and UC Berkeley is 4th, all California schools. Closing out the top five is the University of Michigan.

Below please find the complete list of college viz. university placements in the performance rankings of the Learfield IMG Directors' Cup for the 2018/2019 NCAA Division I athletic school year:
