</ref> Reese was the first commissioner of the conference from 1946 until 1964. Only full members of the Mid-American Conference are eligible for the Reese and Jacoby Trophies. Schools receive points based on their final finish in ten of the 11 men's sports. Schools must choose to count either indoor track and field or outdoor track and field. Both cannot be used in the calculation. The winner is determined by the highest average score.

The Reese Trophy is named after the first Mid-American Conference Commissioner David Reese.[8] Reese was the first commissioner of the conference from 1946 until 1964. Only full members of the Mid-American Conference are eligible for the Reese and Jacoby Trophies. Schools receive points based on their final finish in ten of the 11 men's sports.
