2026 3C2A JUCO ALUMNI LEADERBOARD
BAY VALLEY CONFERENCE
Los Medanos Leads the 3C2A Bay Valley’s Alumni Placement Score as Laney Holds Third
Los Medanos leads the 3C2A Bay Valley with a 110.4 Raw Alumni Placement Score (APS) — the highest Raw APS of any of the conference’s 8 reporting colleges.
Across all 8 Bay Valley colleges, 102 alumni are currently active on four-year rosters — spanning NCAA Division I, II, and III, NAIA, NCCAA, and USCAA programs. The Bay Valley is ranked by Alumni Placement Score (APS) rather than raw alumni count alone — a model built to reflect where a program’s alumni are playing, not just how many of them there are. These counts are an annual snapshot, updated as alumni move levels year to year (JUCO to D2, then D2 to D1, for example) — not a full transfer history.
What Is Alumni Placement Score?
Alumni Placement Score (APS) weights each alumnus by the level they’re playing at: NCAA Division I counts for 5.0 points, NCAA Division II for 4.3, NAIA for 4.0, NCAA Division III for 3.7, NCCAA for 2.5, and USCAA for 2.0. A program’s Raw APS is the sum of those weighted points across all of its alumni. Two programs with the same number of alumni can post very different Raw APS totals if one is sending players to NCAA Division I rosters and the other to NCCAA rosters — a distinction a simple headcount can’t capture.
Laney Edges Solano for Third
Laney and Solano both have 13 total alumni, but Laney’s Raw APS of 55.6 edges Solano’s 54.9 for third place — Laney’s stronger NCAA Division I placement (3 alumni to Solano’s 2) makes the difference. Marin holds second at 72.8, well behind Los Medanos (110.4), whose 25 alumni are the most in the conference.

How These Rankings Are Calculated
Rankings are based on Alumni Placement Score (APS), which weights each alumnus by the level they’re playing at rather than counting every roster spot the same. Total alumni is highlighted alongside Raw APS in the table. When two or more colleges tie on Raw APS, the higher total alumni count breaks the tie; win percentage is the second-level tiebreaker if Total Alumni is also equal. See the 2026 APS methodology for the formula, weights, and FAQ.
