May 19, 2025

The Baruch College Athletic Department has won their fourth straight CUNYAC Commissioner Cup Trophy!

The award was presented to the Athletic Department at the 39th Annual Michael Steuerman Scholar-Athlete Awards Dinner on May 15 at Terrace on the Park in Queens.

The annual Commissioner Cup recognizes the most successful athletic program in the senior CUNY Athletic Conference division as determined by a scoring system that rewards a school for success during the regular season and championship competition.

For the 2024-25 athletic year, the Bearcats won CUNYAC Championships in the men’s sports of volleyball, swimming, tennis, and baseball. They also finished runner up in softball, women’s tennis, women’s swimming, men’s basketball, and men’s cross country.

They won the regular season (1st place) championship in men’s swimming, men’s basketball, men’s volleyball, as well as men’s and women’s tennis.

Commissioner Cup Title Years (11 Total): 2006, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025

Four-Year College Point System:

Points are awarded for first (10), second (5) and third (3) place finishes in all regular season finishes. In Conference tournaments, first (10) and second (5) place is awarded in all head-to-head championship finals, while third place points (3) are awarded in every other sport, where there are more than five participating schools. Also, due to the difference in sizes of athletic programs in CUNYAC, a school can only use their top ten sports in any academic year.
