Arizona isn’t scheduled to appear at Big 12 Football Media Days until Wednesday, but the Wildcats still got singled out for their overall athletic and academic excellence.

The UA has been awarded the 2025-26 Allstate Commissioner’s Cup, given to top overall athletic program in the Big 12. Per a news release, points are accrued throughout the year through Big 12 championship results, regular-season performance and off-field achievements, including academics, graduation outcomes, career development and community service.

Arizona earned 1,377.625 points and won Big 12 titles in men’s basketball (regular season and conference tournament) and men’s tennis. Men’s basketball and men’s golf both made the Final Four in their sports, with men’s tennis reaching the Elite Eight for the first time, while football won nine games, triathlon won a second straight national title and overall 18 sports earned postseason berths.

Acdemically, Arizona had a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 92 percent, up 2 percent from 2024-25, and its semester GPAs of 3.412 in the fall and 3.413 in the spring both established a school best. The UA’s CATS (Commitment to an Athlete’s Total Success) Program also performed more than 3,300 hours of community service, with football leading the way in this area.
