CARMEL, Ind. – The Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) announced the standings for the Commissioner’s Cup and Men’s and Women’s All-Sport race on Wednesday following the winter 2023-24 season, with Rose-Hulman holding a slight advantage over Hanover and Transylvania as we head into the spring sports seasons.
Coming out of the winter season, Rose-Hulman sits atop the 2023-24 Commissioner’s Cup standings and leads Hanover by less than a two point margin, with Transylvania just over four points behind the overall leader.
The Commissioner’s Cup annually recognizes the strongest athletic program in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference as determined by a scoring system which rewards a school for success in the regular season in the league’s 20 primary sports and all affiliate sports.
The 2023-24 academic year is the 19th for the Commissioner's Cup and is awarded to the institution whose athletic department registers the most all-sports points in both men's and women's athletics over the course of the academic year. The complete standings to date are listed below.
