After a pair of national championships in men’s and women’s fencing and men’s gymnastics, Penn State finished 21st in the 2006-07 U.S. Sports Academy’s Directors' Cup Standings. The Top 25 finish marked the 14th-straight for the Athletic Department in the Cup’s 14 year history. The Nittany Lions scored 848.83 points, which was only 13.92 points short of No. 20 Minnesota. Five Big Ten schools finished in the Top 25 in this year’s standings. In the 14-year history of the Directors' Cup, the Nittany Lions have finished in the Top 10 seven times and the Top five a total of four times.

Over the past 10 years, no Big Ten institution has won more national championships then Penn State. In 2006-07, Penn State brought its total to nine in the past decade after men’s and women’s fencing and men’s gymnastics both added to their championship dynasties.
