Six Women's teams. Four Men's teams. That means the Women got a half size trophy, and the Men got a 1/3 size trophy.

Doggy paddle fail.

Why are there so few swimming and diving teams...that seems like a pretty typical sport

My guess would be that the facilities commitment is fairly expensive, maybe above average in terms of maintainence.

I find it strange that the Florida schools don't have swimming/diving.

Congrats to Houston and Cincinnati.

It's also crazy that because of NCAA you have to have the same number of women's teams as men's - So UH can't add a mens team unless they take off something or add a woman's sport in something else

We had never won anything as a team until this new coach came along. Now, we're back-to-back champs of The American and flirting with a top 25 ranking. What he's built is pretty amazing.

Also interesting to see that our diving has really taken a step back after year's of dominance and that almost all of our points were won in the pool.
