I know it's dreaming but realistically every spring sport but men's tennis and softball have a chance to be competing for a national championship. It's so exciting watching these programs and seeing the talent and potential.

Throw in a few other sports too, but yeah there is a lot of potential this spring. Current rankings:

  • MLax #1
  • WLax #2
  • W Tennis #5
  • Baseball #5
  • WGolf #12
  • MGolf #16
  • Rowing #21 (22 teams in championship, so on the bubble)
  • Softball #40 RPI (~40-46 is on the bubble)
  • M Tennis #42 (~37-43 ins on the bubble)
Track and field is a lot harder to measure in that you need individuals to score, and overall team performance is not really a factor. But it is hard to imagine the men besting their 17th place finish last season. The women will likely improve on 34th place, but top 20 may be a stretch.

We are so fortunate to have 6 teams that could make a deep run in May. Crazy that it’s probably not super out of the norm. Of course it inevitably leads to some heartbreak at the end but wouldn’t have it any other way.

And a very interesting side-story is whether Rowing can score their first Director’s Cup points ever.

Very odd that we have coaches that appear to have an expiring contract with nothing announced but we're announcing new deals 15 months in advance for others
My guess as that Miltenberg got an offer from another school and brought it to us to match it.

Good day today. MTEN gets to the right side of the bubble. WLAX secures the undefeated conf season. Total beatdown 8-0 2nd half v dook. W Golf not in great position but I expect a good round tmw to make match play (top 6).

Tennis and Golf ACCs added, also added a full point total as that will likely start going up quickly in the next 2 weeks

With Breschi extended to 2029, outstanding contracts we don't know about, and my guess as to what may be announced in the next few months:

DiBitetto - 2030
Somoano - All signs are he is back for next year, so probably a 2029 deal announced soon? Maybe 2028?
Gangloff - 2031
Paul - Probably out
Koll - 2030
There's Somoano's 2029 deal.

4 to go.

Does unc have a legitimate shot at winning the directors cup this season?
No, we have not had enough high performing scores yet. Probably need a really good spring (With at least 1 if not 2 titles) to even finish top 5.

Our 14 non-mandatory sports scores as of today are:
83, 69, 66, 55, 53.5, 53 (In Progress), 50, 50, 46, 45, 42.5, 38, 34, 25 (In Progress)

And we're currently dropping:
25 (In progress), 5 (In Progress), 5 (In Progress)

Required Scores: 64, 64, 50, 25, Baseball

So we have a ton of mediocre results (From a Cup perspective, being in the T25 teams in so many programs is impressive). You probably need to be ~1300 to win, which would mean you need to average 68 points across your 19 counting sports. As you can see we've only hit that mark in 2 sports so far, with WLax, WTennis, Baseball probably to hit it as well. 5 of the 19 being past that mark (and frankly maybe only 1 title between those 5) isn't enough.

Welcome Throwaway123! I'm glad you are here!

I penned many of the threads without the year listed. Give me a couple of days and I will put a year in each of them, no problem. Original content from IC staff or national staff will likely still be highlighted in their own thread, but everything else is just self-policing. But I totally agree that I like the 1-thread-1-sport format from the old board.
So have we landed on a best practice for when we roll over to a 2026-2027 thread for each team?
