Volleyball/Soccer/Basketball/Softball/Baseball*- All-Conference press releases will be released the DAY AFTER the completion of the championship contest. In the event multiple championships take place on the same day press releases will be staggered on consecutive days in order to capture as much media attention for individual sports as possible.
*The CCC Head Statistician facilitates the nomination/selection process for determining all-conference performers in the sports of Volleyball/Soccer/Basketball/Softball/Baseball (including Coach of the Year). SID's will receive an early press release that is embargoed until the official CCC office release is sent.
All-Conference awards for Volleyball/Soccer/Basketball/Softball/Baseball will be mailed to the Institutions from the Conference office. This will maximize an individual school's opportunity to publicly recognize their student-athletes in whatever fashion they desire. It also allows time for the CCC office to purchase any necessary additional awards for Co-award winners and eliminates not having a particular award for someone on site.
End of Year Special Awards
The end of year special awards follows a pre-established procedure of requesting nominations, compiling bios, and requesting votes. The CCC office facilitates this process. (release dates can be found HERE)
