鈥淩eceiving this award is extremely rewarding considering the excellent athletic programs and leadership we are competing against in the Sun Belt Conference,鈥� commented Jaguar Director of Athletics Dr. Joel Erdmann. 鈥淚t is truly a team award that recognizes the efforts of 17 sports, 380 student athletes, 12 head coaches, dozens of assistant coaches and support personnel, USA students, administration, faculty and staff, and tens of thousands of alumni, season-ticket holders, donors, sponsors and all those proud to be a Jaguar. Everyone who is unified in our vision of excellence has earned a piece of this.鈥�

It鈥檚 the Jaguars鈥� eleventh time to receive the award, the most for any school since the conference鈥檚 inception in 1976, as well as the program鈥檚 first all-sports championship since the 1999-2000 season.

Four Jaguar programs 鈥� soccer and men鈥檚 cross-country in the fall, baseball and women鈥檚 tennis this spring 鈥� won league championships, while seven others finished among the top half of the standings.
