The Commissioner's Cup point system is determined by the 22 conference sports in the fall, winter, and spring. A 10-point system is used in each sport. The first-place team gets 10 points, the second-place team gets 9 points, and so on. A team's regular-season finish will be added to their postseason finish and divided by two for their final total for that sport. The total number of points a school accumulates is divided by the number of conference sports it has. This school's total determines the overall winner at the end of the academic year.
