What Is The EM Cup?
Creating awareness for NCAA athletic departments that maximize fiscal resources.
The EM Cup was established in order to address a common issue within intercollegiate athletics: Are athletic departments practicing effective spending methods in correlation with number of championships earned?
The purpose of the EM Cup is to bring awareness to NCAA athletic departments that are maximizing fiscal resources through championship victories. In other words, the less money spent in relation to number of championships won, the more points are earned.
All NCAA FBS Division I member institutions are eligible to compete for the EM Cup. Throughout the year, Dr. Shane Hudson and his Graduate Assistants track the number of conference, and national championships earned by each qualified institution. At the conclusion of the athletic competition year, EM Cup scores will be calculated using the number of championships earned, along with total athletic department operating expenses.
