I don't follow the Directors' Cup standings all that closely, but because I try to many of Pitt's athletics programs to some small degree, I do like to check in and see where they stand overall.
On the surface, you might think that the Panthers fare pretty well. Neither the football or the basketball programs have been outstanding lately, but the football team has reached a bowl game every year since 2008 and the basketball program has reached the NCAA Tournament most of the time under Jamie Dixon.
The wrestling, track, and swimming/diving programs have had some success recently and this year, the volleyball, women's basketball, cross country, and softball programs took steps forward.
