MELBOURNE, Fla. – Nova Southeastern University Athletics has been announced as the 2023-24 Sunshine State Conference Men’s Mayors’ Cup recipient, marking the first time in departmental history that NSU has won the award. The Sharks amassed 46 points across six spots to earn the 2023-24 Mayors’ Cup.  

Since its inception in the 1986-87 academic year, the SSC’s all-sports trophy has symbolized excellence and sportsmanship. The trophy earned its name from the Mayors of member school communities who initially sponsored the award, a tradition that continues today.  

After the fall and winter points were tallied, the Sharks sat in second place, with 28 points from four sports. Seventeen of those fall/winter points came from a third consecutive basketball regular-season title (fourth overall) and a runner-up finish at the swimming championship. NSU also earned 11 points for fifth-place finishes in soccer and cross country. 

Nova Southeastern netted 18 points in the spring, with only two of the four league sports calculated in the Mayors’ Cup. The Sharks tallied the first nine points following a runner-up performance at the SSC golf championship. Then, NSU baseball closed out the regular season in third place, earning the athletic department another nine spot. Nova Southeastern men finished Top-3 in four of six sports on the way to a one-point SSC Men’s Mayors’ Cup victory.

Mayors’ Cup Scoring 

Scoring for the SSC Mayors’ Cup is based on the regular-season finish for sports with conference standings and championship finish for cross country, golf, rowing, and swimming. For sports where all schools compete, scoring begins with 11 points awarded for finishing first to one point for eleventh. In sports where fewer than 11 teams compete, first-place points will be awarded based on the number of competing teams. Scoring will take into account ties in the SSC standings. Ties broken with a head-to-head tiebreaker will see Mayors’ Cup points distributed accordingly. Points will be split when head-to-head results cannot break a tie.

Mominey is one of four NCAA Division II Athletic Directors to be recognized with this national honor.

“I am honored and truly humbled by this recognition. Not only because NACDA is a peer driven organization but also because the man that started it all, Mr. Mike Cleary, was one of my first mentors as an aspiring young professional in the business,” stated Mominey. “I am very fortunate and blessed to serve a great institution and most importantly, I have the tremendous opportunity to work with the outstanding people in the NSU Athletic Department.

Overall, 11 athletic programs at NSU advanced to their respective NCAA Championships. The success in competition pushed NSU Athletics to a seventh-place finish in the LEARFIELD Directors Cup standings, the highest finish in departmental history.

Nova Southeastern University athletics also experienced success in the classroom, as the athletic department recorded a 3.46 grade point average, the highest departmental GPA in program history. During the 2022-23 academic year, 183 student-athletes were recognized as scholar athletes, 39 recorded a 4.00 GPA, and 81% of student-athletes registered grade point averages higher than 3.00, marking 26 consecutive semesters of a departmental GPA of higher than 3.00.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Jordan Fee, the Associate Head Coach of the Nova Southeastern Men’s Basketball program, will step down from his role and take the Head Coach position at Gannon University (PA.). Fee has been on the coaching staff at NSU since the 2015 season and served under Head Men’s Basketball Coach Jim Crutchfield since 2017.  

“Jordan has been the foundation of NSU Basketball since I came aboard six years ago,” stated Crutchfield. “I consider Jordan to be the top assistant coach, in college basketball, at any level. He has not only been a great coach, but also a great friend to me in my tenure here at Nova Southeastern. I wish him the greatest success, until we meet up in the National Championship game.” 

Fee has been instrumental in the success for the Sharks over the last five seasons, helping guide the program to three Sunshine State Conference regular season titles (2018-19, 2021-22, 2022-23), two SSC Tournament Championships (2021-22, 2022-23), three NCAA South Region Titles (2018-19, 2021-22, 2022-23) and became the sixth-team in NCAA Division II history to finish as undefeated national champions in 2022-23, as the Sharks went 36-0 during the campaign.  

“I’m so incredibly thankful and grateful for the last eight years at NSU, we set out to change a program and culture, and we accomplished that goal. To the Administration at Nova Southeastern, Coach Crutchfield, Coach Tuell and Coach Kiffin, thank you for taking a chance on me and allowing me to be a Shark,” said Fee. “It has been an honor to work alongside such great coaches, staff and student-athletes throughout my time at NSU. To our alumni, support staff, colleagues, faculty, families, Sharkettes, and all of Shark Nation, thank you for everything; I will miss you all!” 

During his tenure, Fee established himself as one of the top assistant coaches and recruiters in NCAA Division II, coaching several All-Conference student-athletes, seven All-Americans, and two Players of the Year. Since the 2015-16 season, Fee and the Sharks have accumulated a record of 153-57.  

Fee will take over the Gannon Golden Knights Men’s Basketball team beginning in the 2023-24 season.
