KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Following a historic year that featured a school-record nine programs earning postseason appearances—headlined by men's ice hockey capturing the program's first-ever NCAA Championship—Western Michigan Athletics has once again finished atop the Mid-American Conference in the 2024–25 Learfield Directors' Cup standings. This marks the second consecutive year the Broncos have led the MAC, after finishing first in 2023-24 for the first time in school history.
