After the completion of the fall sport championships, Southeast Missouri is a close second behind Tennessee Tech in the 2024-25 Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner's Cup All-Sport Trophy standings.
The OVC Commissioner's Cup is a symbol of overall athletic excellence in Conference-sponsored championships.
TTU is atop the standings with 41 points bostered by first-place finishes in women's soccer and football and third-place finishes in men's cross country and volleyball. Only four points behind the Golden Eagles is SEMO with a score of 37. The Redhawks captured titles in football and volleyball (regular-season) this fall.
Lindenwood (34.5) is third followed by Southern Indiana (32.5), Eastern Illinois (31) and Little Rock (30). Western Illinois (27), UT Martin (26.5), Morehead State (23.5), SIU Edwardsville (22) and Tennessee State (15.5) complete the standings.
The 2024-25 season marks the 17th for the Commissioner's Cup, which was previously known as the All-Sports Trophy. The award (which started in 1962-63 for men's sports and 1980-81 for women's sports) was previously divided into a Men's All-Sport Champion and a Women's All-Sport Champion. Points were awarded for each of the 19 sponsored sports and each school was required to count its totals from each sport in its grand total.
With the current points system (updated in 2022-23) schools now count 13 total sports in the final standings. Among those 13, schools are required to count the point totals of three main sports (men's basketball, women's basketball, and volleyball) as well as the highest finishing men's and women's track & field sport (either cross country, indoor track & field or outdoor track & field). Schools that sponsor football are required to count it as one of its 13 sports.
Points are distributed based on the number of schools that sponsor the sport (e.g. if 11 schools sponsor a sport, the champion will earn 11 points, 10 points for second place, 9 points for third place, etc.).
In addition, winners of OVC Tournaments (women's soccer, men's soccer, volleyball, basketball, tennis, beach volleyball, softball and baseball) get one additional bonus point, as does the football champion or co-champions.
There are 13 OVC Championships remaining this year (rifle, men's indoor track & field, women's indoor track & field, men's basketball, women's basketball, women's tennis, beach volleyball, women's golf, men's golf, women's outdoor track & field, men's outdoor track & field, softball and baseball); additionally men's tennis teams compete in the 6-team "South Division" with Horizon League with a points breakdown based on the order of finish in the division standings.
The Redhawks won the OVC Commissioner's Cup in 2020-21 and 2022-23.
