LWC finishes 30th in Learfield Directors' Cup Standings

On Tuesday afternoon, the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) announced the final standings for the 2022-23 Learfield Directors' Cup.

The award is presented annually to an institution in the NCAA's three divisions and the NAIA that accumulates the most points throughout the school year. Points are awarded based on each institution's finish in 13 sports during their national championships. The NAIA must count four sports -- men's and women's basketball, men's soccer, and volleyball -- with the remaining nine coming from any of the remaining championship sports.

With 496.0 total points, Lindsey Wilson finished 30th overall and fourth among Mid-South Conference schools, marking the 19th consecutive top-30 placement in program history.

From John Hicks/Greg Harkenrider

Frankfort, KY - The Office of State Budget Director reported today that General Fund receipts declined by 7.2 percent in May compared to May 2022. Total revenues for the month were $1,146.0 million. This is only the third time that May receipts exceeded $1.0 billion. Receipts have now grown 3.4 percent for the first 11 months of FY23. Individual income tax receipts declined by $148 million due to the 10 percent reduction in the tax rate and a higher amount of tax refunds. Sales and gross receipts rose by 6.2 percent, or $40.0 million, and earnings on investment rose by $19.4 million. General Fund receipts are still on pace to result in a third consecutive year with a budget surplus in excess of $1 billion.
