Sporty Nerds: Schools That Boast Elite Academics and Athletic Programs

Share to twitterNo college athletics program dominates quite like Stanford University, which recently won its 25th straight Learfield IMG Sports’ Directors Cup, a definitive measure of athletic performance across the dozens of sports offered at the Division I level. In 2018-19, seven Cardinal teams brought a national title back to the school’s Palo Alto, CA campus, marking the 43rd consecutive year that Stanford won a national championship.

Duke University is the only other school that ranked in the top 10 of both the Forbes Top College and Director’s Cup lists. Despite the men’s basketball team’s sustained success under celebrated head coach Mike Krzyzewski, the women’s golf squad is Duke’s winningest team, capturing its seventh national championship this May.

Across the country, the Atlantic Coast Conference paces the East Coast, with four member institutions qualifying, including Duke. The University of Virginia is fresh off its first-ever men’s basketball NCAA tournament championship, while the University of Notre Dame , whose teams exclusive of football and hockey compete in the ACC, and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill continued to dominate on the field and in the classroom.
