There used to be a great deal of annual interest in the SEC All-Sports Trophy, back when the league was smaller and sponsored fewer sports. Now, it’s hardly noticed for a variety of reasons, ranging from Florida’s annual dominance, to the expansion of the league, to the mathematically complex formula by which the title is decided. That problem applies far more to national all-sports awards like the Capital One Cup, which requires the mind of Stephen Hawking to decipher.
The SEC office no longer administers the trophy. For many years, the Gainesville Sun which, like The Tuscaloosa News, is now a part of the Gatehouse Media Group, has done the math.
