The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga athletic department had a good 2014-15 school year.
That’s been evidenced by UTC’s results on the playing surfaces against competition both nationally and within the Southern Conference, and the Mocs’ overall success has been recognized again.
UTC tied for 61st in the Capital One Cup men’s standings, which is the school’s best finish since the award began in 2010-11. It is the Mocs’ first top-100 finish, in fact.
The cup is awarded each year to the best NCAA Division I men’s and women’s athletic programs. Points are based on the final standings of NCAA championships and final official coaches’ polls. The Mocs earned nine points for their quarterfinal appearance in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
UTC already won the Commissioner’s Cup trophy – awarded to the top Southern Conference athletic department – and was the highest-ranking SoCon member in the Learfield Sports Director’s Cup.
