Seems like the NACDA Directors' Cup really is a way to present something to attendees at the annual Directors' meeting, so I can't help but think that the cups (D1, D2, D3 and NAIA) will be awarded if the banquet is held for the administrative types in June.
Another approach would be to see if Stanford is destined to win the D1 cup, if yes, it's cancelled.
If Stanford is set to fall short, I suspect they will do something to honor the newest D1 winner.
It is hard to keep track of all of the NACDA top 5 programs in this compressed calendar, but outside of WVB and skipping indoor track Stanford is more or less on schedule. I worry a bit about UCLA given the strong showing in a few key sports.
FWIW - FBS Football creates a quirky problem. A number of bowl eligible teams opted out of bowl games while a number of teams that traditionally would not be bowl eligible got to play in games.
Would a 2-8 team from the SEC get 25 points, while USC, UW, Stanford and others with winning records get 0?
