Oklahoma State Among Top 25 Athletic Departments Nationally

Still water – Oklahoma State finished 23rd in the nation and 3rd in the Big 12 in the final ranking of the Rearfield Directors Cup from 2021 to 2010. It measures the performance of a college athletic club.

OSU offers women’s cross-country, wrestling, women’s indoor and outdoor athletics, baseball, men’s outdoor tracks, fields and women’s golf, in addition to the national top 10 finishes in softball, men’s cross-country, men’s golf, soccer and women’s tennis. ..

Rearfield Directors Cup points are awarded based on the finish of each institution in the NCAA Championship. As a result, Equestrian is not an NCAA-sponsored sport and is not eligible to be included in the total points, so even though Cowgirl won the Team National Championship, OSU is in Equestrian in the Rearfield Directors Cup. I didn’t get any points.

Overall, 19 sports are counted in the final rankings of the Rearfield Directors Cup, four of which must be women’s volleyball and basketball, men’s basketball and baseball. The second highest (up to 15) sport scored by each institution will be used for ranking, regardless of gender.

Oklahoma does not sponsor women’s volleyball and has not been recognized for its performance in equestrian, so there are only 17 sports eligible to score the Rearfield Directors Cup, but most other sports are 19 sports.
