UNC Asheville In Third of Sasser Cup Standings Following Fall Season
12.03.2025 | General
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Following the fall athletics season, UNC Asheville is in third place in the George "F" Buddy Sasser Cup Standings, as announced by the Big South Conference on Wednesday, Dec. 3.
The Sasser Cup Trophy is named for former Big South Commissioner Buddy Sasser (1989-96) and is awarded to the Big South member institution with the most successful year athletically, based on an average points system. Points are awarded for both regular-season and tournament finishes in each of the League's 18 sponsored championships, and the average of the combined total is used to determine the overall point allocation in the respective sport. One bonus point is added to the average total for each Conference Champion/AQ representative, as well as any teams that receive at-large NCAA Championships berths. Teams tied in regular-season or tournament play split the points earned. Each member's overall point totals are then divided by the number of sports sponsored by that school to determine the average.
