Learfield Sports Directors' Cups


In 2015, its final season as a member of the NAIA, Oklahoma Baptist claimed its third consecutive 14593Learfield Sports Directors' Cup as the best overall athletics program in the association.

With the victory, OBU became the third NAIA school to win three consecutive Learfield Cups, joining Simon Fraser (1997-2001) and Azusa Pacific (2005-12).
 
OBU is one of only seven four-year colleges to win the award three consecutive seasons.

The Learfield Sports Directors' Cup was developed as a joint effort between the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and USA Today. Points are awarded based on each institution's finish in up to 12 sports -- six women's and six men's.
