Michigan named CBS's Best in College Sports
link here. Unlike the Director's Cup, CBS weights football and men's basketball higher, and only counts 5 sports across an athletic department (3 of which will be football, MBB and WBB). They've made the award for 8 years, and Michigan is now the only school to have won it twice.
Great job wolverines! Now let's win some nattys in '22-23
Seems sketchy to be honest. Will pass on the CBS Best in College Sports replica trophy.
Sketchy? How so?
sketchy wolverine...
I'll bet Nick Saban is Mr. Congeniality! Good night, Future Boy!
Hm..... Why sketchy? Because UM was picked to be the best or you noticed something else?
Sketchy why? How?
If we are evaluating "best at college sports", it seems odd to weight men's basketball higher than women's basketball and to weight football higher than men's basketball. If it's meant to be weighted by audience for the sport, then the weightings should go way more towards football and men's basketball. I mean it spits out a ranking but it feels random.
If I read this correctly, you just contradicted yourself.
Hockey should be weighted more.
Even today, he approves
I'm sorry. This is the only appropriate Clarence Boddicker response.
How'd that work out for him?
Not good.
Buuuut, the Tigers are playing tonight, he never misses a game.
This link should be re-posted, every time someone bitches about Warde. The uptick in the success our teams have had, is now undeniable, and Warde is a big part of it. Both the marquee programs are solid, the hockey team is the premier NHL factory, the baseball team almost won title a few years ago, etc.
Michigan mens basketball, football, baseball, and hockey made it farther than any other big ten team in their playoffs/tourney. The odds of that happening have to be ridiculously small.
And Warde appears to go about his business quietly, behind the scenes.
All in all an excellent year for UM athletics regardless if you agree or not with the formula. Seems like an abridged model of the Director's cup.
Very helpful, thank you.
Be interesting if they would see if/how it changes each time you add a "wild-card" sport. I'd be willing to bet we'd still win with 6 teams counted up through maybe 10?
For no particular reason at all, I've just now decided that this CBS award is WAY MORE CREDIBLE than the Director's Cup. So...Hail! And, as always, Fuck Ohio!
No way, the director's cup is qualified because it weighs IM Underwater Curling the same as Football.

Obligatory:
- To Hell with Norte Dame
- FYS
WE'RE NUMBER 1!!
We didn't need CBS to tell us that, but we do appreciate it.
Rutgers does better than Stanford in this assessment. Certainly different.
I think there should be a “ traditionalist “ cup. Just counting men’s football, basketball, baseball and hockey. Michigan should have won that award last year as well.
Uh, wouldn't that violate Title IX?
/s (before this becomes too political)
Maybe each school gets credit for specific top 7 (for example) in mens and womens sports. That way Stanford doesn’t get to pile up points where other schools don’t have teams. Who cares about badminton anyway?
Badminton's mother.
I just want to know when the next recruit will drop. Hate seeing Michigan behind MSU.
Makes sense to me. Go Blue !
fuck stanford!
But "fire Warde Manuel."
