The SUNY Cortland intercollegiate athletics program finished first in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Commissioner's Cup standings for the 2007-08 school year. Cortland has won the Commissioner's Cup, which is awarded for overall sports excellence, in 11 of the 12 years that it has been awarded, including the last five seasons.
Cortland finished with an average score of 9.64 points. Geneseo was second with an average score of 8.43 points.
Commissioner's Cup points are awarded based on each team's finish in the SUNYAC standings, both during the regular season and in league postseason tournaments, when applicable. The first-place school in each sport receives 11 points, second place receives 10 points, and so on.
A school's regular-season finish is added to its postseason finish and is divided by two to determine the points for each sport. The total points earned are then divided by the number of conference sports the school sponsors.
Cortland won 10 league crowns – field hockey, men's cross country and women's volleyball in the fall, both men's and women's indoor track and field in the winter, and men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse, softball, baseball and men's outdoor track and field in the spring. The Red Dragons were also league runner-up in four sports – women's cross country, women's soccer, women's basketball and men's swimming and diving.
