Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

From Hoopedia

The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) is an athletic conference which competes in the NCAA's Division III. Member institutions are located in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. As such, it is one of the most geographically widespread non-scholarship athletic conferences in the United States. Prior to 1991, the conference was known as the "Collegiate Athletic Conference."

President's Trophy

Each year, the "President's Trophy," a 300-pound railroad bell, is awarded to the school with the best overall sports record. Teams are awarded points for their final position in each sport; the school with the most points is declared the winner. In 2006-2007, the President's Trophy was awarded to DePauw University, which defeated Trinity University by 5 points. The five-point difference represents less than a difference of a single place in a single sport.
