NCAA general championships

The National Collegiate Athletic Association General Championship is awarded to the school with the most points garnered in an academic year in the NCAA. It is split into the Juniors' division and to the Seniors' division.
The champion school in a given sport receives 30 points, with the runner-up receiving 20, and the last place receiving one point. All of the points from the different sports are then tabulated, and the school with the most points is the General Champion. Only sports that are official are included.
The awarded school is judged as the best athletic program in the NCAA for the given academic year.
The General Championship is similar to the NACDA Director's Cup of the American NCAA.
