Flashes Finish Third in Nation in EM Cup

The College Sports Lab at Texas A&M recently announced that Kent State's athletic department finished third in the Excellence in Management Cup standings for the 2017-18 academic year.

The Excellence in Management Cup recognizes athletic departments who maximize fiscal resources that lead to championships. The unique scoring system awards more points to athletic departments that win conference and national championships while efficiently allocating money to win championships.

"Our coaches and staff members take great pride in making the most out of the resources they're provided," Director of Athletics Joel Nielsen said.
