WKU finished unranked in the final 2018-19 standings for the Division I Learfield IMG College Directors’ Cup, the organization announced Friday.
The Hilltoppers and Lady Toppers experienced a significant drop from their spot in the final 2017-18 standings released last June, as WKU's athletic programs nose-dived within only 12 months from a tie for No. 152 to a finish outside the top 295 programs in the nation.
The Directors’ Cup ranks college athletics programs on their performance in 19 sports, based on participation and success in NCAA championship events.
Four of the sports included in a school's ranking must be baseball, men's basketball, women's Basketball and women's volleyball, according to the scoring structure posted on National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics website.
