KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association released its final standings for the 2024-2025 Commissioner’s Cup, presented by Impact Signs. For the fourth consecutive year, Pittsburg State University captured the Association’s all-sports trophy with a league-leading 12.04 points per sport.
 
The Commissioner’s Cup presented by Impact Signs is the Association’s all-sports trophy awarded to the league’s top-performing institution at the end of each academic year. Points are awarded based on a team’s finish in the MIAA’s regular season competition. The number of points awarded per sport is based on the number of schools sponsoring that sport and each institution’s grand point total is then divided by the athletic programs it sponsors, giving an overall average finish for the school. 
 
"The MIAA has a rich history of nationally ranked programs with the expectation of athletic excellence every year. The Commissioner's Cup is the Association’s highest recognition of the athletics excellence exhibited by programs in MIAA-sponsored championship sports," said MIAA Commissioner Mike Racy. "Congratulations to Pittsburg State University’s student-athletes, coaches, and administrators on winning this year’s Commissioner’s Cup, and thanks again to our Cup sponsor Impact Signs for their continued support of MIAA athletics!”
 
The 2024-25 MIAA Commissioner’s Cup is the Gorillas’ fourth consecutive all-sports trophy and the University’s fifth overall, passing the University of Central Missouri for the most Commissioner’s Cups in the award’s history.

“This is a tremendous honor for Pittsburg State to win the MIAA Commissioner’s Cup for a fourth consecutive year and fifth time overall,” said Jim Johnson, Pittsburg State University’s Vice President for Athletics and Recreation. “Once again, this award is a testament to the hard work our student-athletes, coaches and staff put in to be successful at the conference level and beyond. The MIAA is filled with so many elite programs, student-athletes and coaches across the board in all sports. The Gorillas take a great deal of pride in maintaining this high level of excellence and receiving this fantastic honor once again.”
