Where did Texas A&M finish in this year's Learfield Directors' Cup final standings?
As the final points were tallied up, Texas A&M athletics finished as one of the most highly-rated schools in the country in the 2024-2025 Learfield Directors' Cup standings.
The Aggies finished the most recent athletics year in the top 25 for the 19th consecutive year, as Texas A&M earned a No. 15 finish. That mark places the programs in College Station as the No. 7 team in the Southeastern Conference and the sixth time in the last decade that the Aggies finished in the top 15 of the Learfield Directors' Cup.
The competition originated in 1993 and was created to rank programs based on the athletic department's overall success competing during the athletic calendar year in national competition. Texas A&M's highest ranking in program history was in 2012-2013, in which the program ranked as No. 5 in the country and recorded 1131.50 points for its performances against other programs across the country.
During the 2024-2025 athletics year, the Aggies secured an NCAA Championship in men's outdoor track and field, while also finishing top 20 in men's golf, men's swimming and diving, men's basketball and softball. Texas A&M's equestrian team also advanced to the semifinals of the NCEA Championship.
Here are the full standings and results from this year's Learfield Directors' Cup:
Following the announcement of Texas A&M's finish in this year's cup, athletic director Trev Alberts expressed his thoughts on where the Aggies' accomplishments and where its programs are headed in the future.
"I firmly believe that the future is incredibly bright for Texas A&M as collegiate athletics continues to evolve," Alberts said. "We are dedicated to a culture that is focused on giving our programs all of the resources they need to compete for championships, and I am grateful that here at Texas A&M we are well-positioned moving forward to achieve that goal."
The Learfield Directors' Cup was developed by USA TODAY and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). As a new calendar year is due up, starting with soccer and then football, the Aggies will look to secure its 20th season with a top 25 finish in the cup.

Tyler Boyd says he'd ‘absolutely' play for Steelers — could Pittsburgh bring the WR home?
The Steelers' next wide receiver might've just revealed himself — as free-agent WR Tyler Boyd recently discussed the opportunity to play for Pittsburgh. Boyd may have spent eight seasons as a Bengal, but the born-and-raised yinzer welcomed a return to Pittsburgh when asked if he'd play for the Steelers: "Absolutely," Boyd told Pittsburgh Sports Now. "You know, all my family is here. I'd be able to have the majority of them be able to support me.' He added more fuel to a speculative Steelers signing, stating that his relationship with HC Mike Tomlin goes way back to his days as a Pitt Panther: "I'm real cool with Tomlin,' Boyd said. 'He's always been a good person. We always wrapped it up. When I was at Pitt, we had a good relationship.' Boyd signed a one-year deal with the Titans in 2024 but struggled to make an impact on his team, accumulating 390 receiving yards and zero touchdowns on just 39 receptions — a far cry from his days as a 1,000-yard receiver on the Bengals. The Aaron Rodgers-led Steelers could really use the presence of a bona fide slot receiver — and Boyd could use the opportunity to prove he still has more left in the tank in his hometown.
