NEW ORLEANS – The Sun Belt Conference announced the Texas State athletic department as the winner of the 2021-22 Vic Bubas Cup on Wednesday. 
 
The Bobcats claimed their second all-time Bubas Cup—with both coming over the past four seasons—following the conclusion of the 2021-22 campaign. 
 
The Bubas Cup is the Sun Belt’s annual all sports championship trophy, awarded to the top athletic department in the conference based on a points system. 
 
“We are honored to recognize the Bobcats successful 2021-22 season with their second Vic Bubas Cup,” said Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Keith Gill. “This award is a testament to the dedication of Texas State’s student-athletes, coaches, athletic department staff and university leadership.”
 
Texas State earned 123 points to outpace South Alabama (122), Coastal Carolina (108.5), Arkansas State (104.5) and UTA (102.5) in this year’s Bubas Cup standings. 
 
Texas State—which sponsors 16-of-17 Sun Belt sports—collected Sun Belt regular-season titles in men’s basketball and baseball, along with runner-up accolades in volleyball, men’s indoor track & field and women’s indoor track & field. 
 
The Vic Bubas Cup is named after the Sun Belt Conference’s first Commissioner. Bubas was named the conference’s commissioner on Oct. 6, 1976 and served for 14 years until his retirement in 1990. He led the conference during a period in which its membership increased from six to eight members and its sport sponsorship grew from four to 10 sports. Bubas 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.
