Created in 1980, it was named for Jim McCafferty, who served as the first Commissioner of the Midwestern City Conference (now the Horizon League). Schools earn performance points based on their finish in all 19 championship sports the Horizon League offers. For the sports of baseball, softball, men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, and men's and women's basketball, points are awarded based on combined regular season and championship finish. All other sports are based on finish in the League championship.
