Current Bubas Cup Standings
 
POINT CLEAR, Ala. – The Sun Belt Conference’s Vic Bubas Cup has a new home and it will arrive early this year.
 
Texas State claimed its first ever Bubas Cup and did so before the conclusion of both the baseball regular season and championship.
 
The award was given to Bobcat representatives Tuesday evening at the opening reception of the Sun Belt Spring Meeting being held in Point Clear, Ala.
 
The Bubas Cup is the Sun Belt’s annual all sports championship trophy that is awarded to the top athletics department in the league based on a points system.
 
In all, the Bobcats collected five total Sun Belt Championships.  In the fall, the volleyball and women’s soccer teams picked up regular season titles.  The Bobcat volleyball team also won the Sun Belt Tournament Championship.  The track and field programs also contributed Sun Belt titles as the women’s program won the Indoor Track and Field Championship and the men’s team won the Outdoor Track and Field Championship.
 
The Vic Bubas Cup is named after the conference’s first commissioner. Bubas was named the conference’s commissioner on October 6, 1976. Bubas served as Sun Belt Conference Commissioner for 14 years until his retirement in 1990. He led the conference during a period in which its membership increased from six to eight and the number of sports sponsored grew from four to 10.
 
Bubas was inducted to the College Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007. He passed away in April 2018 at the age of 91.
 
Points for the Bubas Cup are awarded based on regular season finish for sports that have a regular season conference schedule. Points are awarded based on Sun Belt Championship finish if that sport does not have a regular season conference schedule. Points are awarded based on the number of schools sponsoring the sport. Institutions not sponsoring a sport do not receive points in that sport. Institutions tying for positions split the combined points of their positions. For sports that have both a regular season schedule and a conference tournament, one additional point will be awarded to the winner of the conference tournament. For sports with divisions, the conference records of all teams are ranked and points are awarded regardless of divisional finish.
