Div II USSA Director's Cup

[star2city]

Here's the latest standings in the USSA Director's Cup, what used to be the Sears Cup. UND scored in football, volleyball, and soccer, and will almost certainly score points in Men's Hockey, W BB, and both men's and women's swimming.

Just a couple of comments: Grand Valley's sports program has really steppped up, as well as the whole GLIAC. The appearance of UCSD, which rivals UCLA and Cal-Berkeley academically, and Truman State on this list are testaments that Div II is not second-rate academically. Finally, an issue with Div II is that two important Div II conferences, California's and Florida's (both N. Florida and W. Florida are significant DII schools), do not sponsor DII football. DII football gets hurt without having conference advocates in these two important recruiting states.
