💬 Great observation on Twitter I'll turn into a question. Only two sports at BAMA didn't make the post-season this year. Can you name them?

An incredible season for the athletic department.

Cap One Cup is one of the most biased(?) things there are under the "awards" categories. It's never a level playing field.

Stanford reverses decision to cut 11 of its varsity sports programs

The original decision resulted in federal lawsuits from the athletes affected, as well as on-field protests

Stanford University has reversed the decision to cut 11 of its varsity sports programs. In an announcement on Tuesday, the school said the school backtracked in part because of "an improved financial picture with increased fundraising potential."

"We have new optimism based on new circumstances, including vigorous and broad-based philanthropic interest in Stanford Athletics on the part of our alumni, which have convinced us that raising the increased funds necessary to support all 36 of our varsity teams is an approach that can succeed," Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne said.

I can’t believe Bama is atop the Capital One standings. It’s usually swayed toward rowing, lax, croquet, racquet ball, fencing, etc. Lol I guess since the ivy leagues cancelled so many nonsense, non-revenue sports, it allowed the real players up in the rankings.

Swayed towards schools who have some of those programs. @JoseyWalesTheOutlaw hit it on the nail's head. Using Stanford as an example-they have won A LOT of the Cap One Cups-they have over two times the number of programs as Alabama.
