League-leading 49 national tiles and top 10 overall athletics department right now says otherwise.

The Razorbacks’ strong finish in baseball spurred the University of Arkansas athletic department to a program-best seventh-place finish in the Learfield Directors Cup standings released on Thursday by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics.

Arkansas finished in the top 10 for the second time in school history, just eclipsing last year’s program record eighth-place showing. The Razorbacks were the highest-ranked team among departments which sponsor only 19 sports.

The Learfield Directors Cup assigns scoring for all collegiate sports for both men and women, with a maximum of 100 points for winning a national championship in a given sport.

The Razorbacks won eight SEC titles and posted nine top-10 finishes in NCAA events during the 2021-22 school term, which helped Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek be selected as the FBS Athletics Director of the Year by NACDA. Arkansas won 10 SEC titles during the 2020-21 academic year, with Coach Lance Harter’s women’s indoor track and field squad pulling down the NCAA championship.

Mizzou is the obvious choice to hand off to the Big 10.

I'd rather pick up NC State and Clemson anyway. They fit the league culturally better than anyone else out there.
