LEARFIELD Directors' Cup 

The Directors' Cup is presented annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics to the most successful U.S. collegiate athletic programs.  
 
Established in 1993–94 for NCAA Division I in partnership with USA Today, the award expanded in 1995–96 to include Divisions II and III as well as the NAIA. In 2011–12, it broadened further to recognize junior and community colleges, with updated scoring introduced in the 2017–18 academic year.  
 
Standings are available on the NACDA website. Points are awarded to schools that advance to NCAA, NAIA, or two-year college/university championships. Points for Division III programs are calculated from an institution's top 18 sports, four of which must include:  

• Men's basketball
• Women's basketball
• Men's soccer
• Women's soccer
• The next 14 highest-scoring sports, from any gender, are included.  

Landmark Conference Presidents' Trophy 

The Presidents' Trophy was created in the inaugural year of the conference to recognize the best overall athletics program. The Trophy is awarded based on a formula that rewards institutions for regular-season conference standings as well as results in Landmark postseason competition. 

• Points are assigned based on the regular season standings and the number of teams competing in each sport.
• The first-place team would always receive 15 points, and the last place team would always receive 1 point.
• Individual sports without regular season standings would use the championship results to determine points earned.
• Any ties in the standings should receive the same number of points. The average amount of points shall be distributed to each team. 

Bonus points are awarded based on competition in the Landmark playoffs. The Landmark Championship team earns five bonus points, the runner-up earns three bonus points, and the semifinalist earns two bonus points. The remaining two playoff teams each earn one bonus point. 
 
At the end of the year, the total number of points would be divided by the number of conference sports each member sponsors in order to determine that institution's score, and the final standings.
