The RMAC All-Sports Cup standings are determined on a points system based on regular season finishes or RMAC Championship finishes in cross country, track and field, and swimming. Institutions must count the finishes of their four core sports (men's basketball, women's basketball, women's volleyball, and either football or men's soccer), plus six additional sports will be counted toward an institution's total, with the top three men's finishes and top three women's finishes by points awarded counted. For teams that award a regular-season title, points are awarded based on a team's finish in the regular season, and for sports that do not award a regular season title, points are awarded based on a team's finish in their respective RMAC Championship.
 
During the 2024-25 school year, the Pack scored a total of 287.5 points in its core sports, as men's soccer and football each scored 100 points thanks to winning RMAC titles in those respective sports, along with scoring 74.3 points thanks to tying with Regis for fourth place.
