"The quick version": a conference (or the entire division, if it is not a Division I school) gets points equal to the number of Division I schools that sponsor a sport if one of its schools wins the NCAA championship, with a 25% bonus for men's sports to even them out with women's; football is decided by the CFP championship, but both FBS and FCS teams are counted for points purposes.

Northwestern isn't in the SEC.
I'd love to see a breakdown of the points for LSU's baseball. I see women's bowling is 1 to 1 but I can figure out all that bonus stuff.

Er, um, uh, let me think about this one for a minute...the SEC gets to count one of the Big 10's championships because of Georgia's win over Ohio State in the CFP semi-finals?

Seriously...there are 305 schools that play Division I baseball. When you add up the total number of schools for each sport, the women have about 25% more than the men, so all men's sports get a 25% bonus to make up for it. 25% of 305 is 76.25, rounded to 76, so that's 305 + 76 = 381.

Why is the 'seriously' necessary?
Thanks for the breakdown, got it..

To make sure it's not lumped in with the SEC/Big 10 explanation, which, you guessed it, is "not seriously."

Reminder: the first Division I football practices can begin on July 26 (if the team has a Week 0 game - teams that start on 9/2 have to wait until 8/2).
