The State of State Part Three–Meet The Standards

Disclaimer: Only facts and statistics will be stated below, you the reader can draw your own conclusions and opinions.

State competes in 21 different ACC sports plus gymnastics (EAGL) and rifle (SEARC & GARC). In the 2007-2008 school year, 6 out of those 23 programs finished higher in their conference standings than they did the year before, 11 finished worse and 6 maintained the same standing. All 12 ACC schools compete in the sport unless indicated.
