Sooners’ 14th-Place Finish in 2015-16 Learfield Directors’ Cup
The totality of Oklahoma’s national strength in athletic competition during the 2015-16 academic year is reflected in the Learfield Directors’ Cup. Points are awarded to schools for the full complement of sports programs, specifically for the performance of that school in NCAA championship competition.
Boosted by national championships and high national finishes in several fall, winter and spring sports during the 2015-16 collegiate calendar, Oklahoma placed 14th out of 289 NCAA Division I schools in the Directors’ Cup standings.
Texas was the only Big 12 school ranked higher than Oklahoma. The Longhorns finished ninth in the standings.
