with their system. In Track & Field they really give no weight to individual national championships. Same is probably true in all collective team sports: cross country, diving, swimming, etc.

However, these individual championships determine All-American status (top 6 in most sports), so to me this method diminishes those accomplishments.

I can appreciate the emphasis on team and collective team accomplishments but there does seem to be a need for a graduated point scale for individual NCAA championships. Team and individual need to be correlated in a better manner and imho this would really be more accurate overall indicator.
