Every year at this time, you hold your breath for the Learfield Directors' Cup standings.
Wait, you don't hold your breath. Why would you? These are the standings for the big all-sports trophy among athletics departments. I'll be up front, I really only care about football, but if you're into this sort of thing and you're an Iowa fan, you're probably wondering where's Iowa?
Well, we don't know, but that didn't stop us from grading these sports under athletics director Gary Barta.
I think The Athletic's Scott Dochterman and I were more than fair. I might've actually been a little nicer than Scott.
I know, will wonders never cease?
