Arkansas 13th in final Learfield standings

FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas fell a few spots from its all-time high finish in the Learfield Director’s Cup by placing 13th in the annual all-sports standings released on Wednesday by the National Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA).

The Razorbacks had finished eighth and seventh, respectively, the last two years before garnering their third consecutive top 15 finish.

Arkansas totaled 1,031.5 points to rank sixth among SEC programs and first among schools that sponsor 19 or fewer sports.

The Razorbacks won two NCAA titles in the 2022-23 school year, sweeping the men’s and women’s indoor track and field championships for the first time in school history. Arkansas posted 11 top 10 NCAA finishes, won 5 SEC championships, won a bowl game for the second consecutive year and advanced to the Sweet 16 in men’s basketball for the third consecutive year.

“Once again, Razorback student-athletes delivered one of the most successful years in our program’s history,” UA Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek said in a statement. “For the third-consecutive year and only the fourth time since the Directors’ Cup was initiated, Arkansas finished among the top 15 in the nation. That is truly remarkable and even more amazing when you consider we are competing against some programs with more than 30 sports.”

The highest finish prior to the Razorbacks’ three-year streak of top 15 showings was 14th place in 1997-98.

Stanford, which won national titles in men’s gymnastics, women’s rowing and women’s water polo, claimed its 26th Learfield Director’s Cup national title.

The rest of the top five consisted of Texas, Ohio State, Virginia and Florida.

The SEC led the way with eight programs in the top 25, with No. 6 Tennessee, No. 7 Georgia, No. 9 LSU, No. 12 Alabama, No. 18 Kentucky and No. 24 Texas A&M joining Arkansas and Florida.

The standings concluded with the awarding of points based on springs sports, where Arkansas tallied 90 points for its second-place finish in men’s outdoor track and field, 85 points for finishing third in women’s outdoor track and field, 56 points for finishing 18th in men’s golf, 50 points for qualifying for the regionals in both baseball and softball, 40.5 points for a regional finish in women’s golf, and 25 points for qualifying for the NCAAs in women’s tennis.

The cup, which has been tracking overall standings since the 1993-93 school year, is a collaboration between NACDA and USA Today. The standings are determined by scoring in 19 sports, four of which must be women’s volleyball and basketball and men’s basketball and baseball. The next highest 15 sports for every school, regardless of gender, are used to compute the standings.

Where Arkansas transfers landed

While the Arkansas Razorbacks have been hitting the transfer portal hard, it is partially as a result of having more than 20 scholarship players decide to enter the portal after a 6-6 regular season that was capped off with a Liberty Bowl win over Texas Tech on Dec. 27.

The transfer portal officially opened Dec. 9 and it was open for a 30 day window through Dec. 28. There is also an additional five-day window for players to enter once their season is over, plus there will be an additional 10-day portal window from April 16-25.

Parade on Beale Street | Arkansas Democrat Gazette

MEMPHIS –While Beale Street is famous for being the Home of the Blues, red was the color of the day Dec. 26 at the Beale Street Parade, where many watchers were clad in red — a team color for both teams playing in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl the following day.

Marching bands, vintage vehicles, cheer squads and floats marched, strutted and cruised down the historic street in downtown Memphis as fans of the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Texas Tech Red Raiders lined the streets, cheering as bands and cheer squads from their schools passed by.

The University of Arkansas Razorback Marching Band, cheerleaders and pep squad brought up the rear of the parade, creating a grand finale as they marched to meet Texas Tech’s Goin’ Band from Raiderland at Beale Street’s Handy Park for a festive Bash on Beale Pep Rally. Both the parade and the pep rally were sponsored by the Beale Street Merchants Association.
