Overall Success On The National Level
While championships come infrequently, overall SCAC athletic programs rate favorably when compared against the diverse Division III membership. The NACDA Director's Cup provides one representation of any school's athletic success as compared to its peers. Trinity has ranked in the top five nationally twice, most recently in 2004–2005 when it placed fourth. 2011–12 was another challenging year for the conference; Trinity's 34th, ahead of Birmingham-Southerm's 45th, was the best showing the conference could muster.
