STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford has secured the 2014-15 Division I Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup, extending its streak to 21 consecutive seasons of capturing the award presented to the most successful intercollegiate athletic department in the nation.

Jaquish & Kenninger Director of Athletics Bernard Muir accepted the Cup on June 16 during the annual National Association of Collegiate Directors of America (NACDA) conference in Orlando, Florida.

Stanford compiled 1,448 total points, with UCLA (1,236), USC (1,209), Florida (1188.50) and North Carolina (1,152) rounding out to the top five. The Cardinal scored in 25 total sports, but only 10 men's and 10 women's sports are scored in the standings. The following scores were omitted – women’s cross country, field hockey, women’s lacrosse and women’s outdoor track and field and wrestling.

The Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup was developed as a joint effort between the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and USA Today. Points are awarded based on each institution's finish in up to 20 sports -- 10 women’s and 10 men’s.

Stanford claimed three national championships in 2014-15, increasing its overall total to 127. Of Stanford’s 127 championships, 107 are NCAA titles, including 2015 crowns in women’s water polo and women’s golf.
