The 2022-2023 college sports season is in the rearview mirror as teams across the country are moving on to the 2023-2024 season.
In 2013, CBS Sports began awarding the “Best in Sports” award to the athletic department that had the best year. This ranking consists of football, men’s and women’s basketball and two wild cards. Louisville won the inaugural award, and the Oklahoma Sooners took home the crown after an impressive 2015-2016 season.
The Tennessee Volunteers took home this year’s crown.
The two wild cards are the school’s two most successful spectator sports. That could include baseball, softball, volleyball, soccer, gymnastics, lacrosse, hockey or wrestling.
The weighted formula puts 2.5 times as much emphasis on football and 2.0 times as much on men’s basketball compared to the rest of the sports. In both sports, Oklahoma struggled during the 2022-2023 school year.
Here is how the Big 12 teams from a year ago stacked up.
