Which one of these is not like the others?

I'll give you a hint, it has to do with P-5 conference affiliation.

Happy to be in this, but what a wonky metric. Major League Lacrosse included, which inflated 5 of the top 6 scorers. NFP Softball included, which has 5 total teams 3 of which don't have a home field, but no NWSL for women's soccer. Using MLS draft but not including players that went overseas to far superior leagues

NHL not included?

Of the non p5s UConn had the highest score of 1032.4 followed by
USF 458.9

UConn by all metrics is worthy of being P5 for some reason politics or leadership they have been left out
