Stanford University, Grand Valley State University and Williams College were honored as winners of the United States Sports Academy Directors' Cups for 2004-05. The awards were made during the honors luncheon at the National Association of College Directors of Athletics convention June 17.

The Directors' Cup competition ranks an athletics department's overall excellence based on the performance of men's and women's teams in several sports.

Stanford, which has dominated the competition in Division I, captured its 11th consecutive title in the 12-year history of the award. Stanford won national championships in women's volleyball and women's tennis and was the runner-up in men's water polo and men's swimming. The Cardinal placed eight additional teams in the top 10.

Grand Valley State won its second straight Directors' Cup in Division II by scoring 801 points. Led by their runner-up finish in women's golf, the Lakers sealed the win with five additional top-10 finishes in women's cross country (fourth), baseball (fourth), football (fifth), women's basketball (fifth) and men's cross country (sixth).

Williams won its ninth Division III Directors' Cup behind the strength of a national championship in women's cross country. Eleven additional teams recorded top-10 finishes, including women's swimming and women's indoor track and field, which both finished fourth.
