The Capital One Cup is a multi-sport award given to a school to acknowledge athletic success across all sports. Several sports programs from higher-education institutions across the United States are pitted against each other, acquiring points throughout the school year based on how individual sports teams finish in national championships. Sports are divided into two groups based on popularity and pool of competition, with Group B scoring three times the number of points of Group A. There are separate cups for men's and women's sports. The winning school for both men and women receives $200,000 to their student athlete scholarship fund.[1] Stanford University and the University of Florida are tied for the most titles in the men's competition with 3. Stanford University has won the most titles in the women's competition with seven. Stanford, along with the University of Florida, are the only two schools to win a Capital One Cup in both the men's and women's divisions.
