As a result of COVID-19, all Spring NAIA national championships were cancelled for the 2020 season.
About the Commissioner’s Cup In an effort to further recognize the achievements of its student-athletes and member institutions, the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference developed an award for the institution that performs the greatest over the Fall, Winter, and Spring (excluded for 2019-20 due to COVID-19 cancellations) athletic seasons. The KCAC Commissioner’s Cup is awarded annually as a symbol of excellence in athletics representing completed championships. Member institutions earn points for their finish of each varsity team in the officially recognized conference sports. In the 2019-20 athletic season, points were assigned based on regular season finish for Football, Men’s and Women’s Soccer, Volleyball, and Men’s and Women’s Basketball. In Cross Country, Indoor Track and Field, Cheer, Dance, and Men’s Wrestling, the conference championship meet/tournament results determined point values. To be a conference sport, there must be six member institutions competing in that respective sport at the varsity level. Teams who finish in first place will be awarded a maximum number of points equivalent to the total number of teams competing in that respective sport. Point tallies will continue in reverse order until the last place team has been awarded its corresponding point value (i.e. if a sport only has seven teams, point values will be given from the maximum 7 to 1). When two or more teams tie for final placing in the conference standings, each team will be awarded the average of the respective placing. For example, if three teams tied for second place in a sport with 11 teams, those three teams will be given the score of 9 points because those three teams are occupying the second (10 points), third (9 points) and fourth (8 points) positions in the standings. The sum of those three positions (27 points) divided by three teams yields an average score of nine points for each of the teams.
