COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – For the 12th time in school history, Colorado Christian is the proud owner of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Sportsmanship Cup, the league announced Thursday. The award marks the eighth consecutive win for CCU.
In its 19th year of recognition, the RMAC Sportsmanship Cup recognizes the institution that best exemplifies the values of sportsmanship as upheld by both the RMAC and the NCAA. The award reflects the conference’s commitment to promoting respect, integrity, and ethical conduct across all aspects of intercollegiate athletics. Student-athletes, coaches, administrators, officials, and fans are expected to demonstrate dignity and uphold the integrity of themselves, their institutions, the NCAA, and the broader athletic community.
Voting for the award is done by each RMAC institution by team representatives and coaches. Voters consider the conduct of the student-athletes and coaches throughout each sport’s respective season.
The Colorado Christian athletic department will be honored at the 2025 RMAC Hall of Fame Ceremony and Awards Banquet on Thursday, July 10, at the Colorado Springs Marriott. Doors will open at 5 p.m. MT, and the induction and awards ceremony will follow promptly at 6 p.m. Tickets are available at
