The winners have been announced for the 2021-2022 Learfield Directors' Cup, awarded to the colleges and universities with the most success across every collegiate sport. The University of Texas has won the Division I Directors' Cup, while Grand Valley State University and Tufts University took home the Directors' Cup for Division II and Division III, respectively.

Virginia is currently 11th in the team standings, which are not yet finalized as the college baseball season will conclude this week with the College World Series. Both Texas and Stanford, who hold the top two spots in the Learfield standings, have baseball teams still competing in the College World Series, but there are not enough points at stake to allow the Cardinal to overtake the Longhorns for first place.
