2026 3C2A JUCO ALUMNI LEADERBOARD
SOUTH COAST CONFERENCE
Mt. San Antonio Leads the 3C2A South Coast’s Alumni Placement Score as El Camino Posts the Best Record
Mt. San Antonio leads the 3C2A South Coast with a 103.9 Raw Alumni Placement Score (APS) — the highest Raw APS of any of the conference’s 9 reporting colleges.
Across all 9 South Coast colleges, 149 alumni are currently active on four-year rosters — spanning NCAA Division I, II, and III, NAIA, NCCAA, and USCAA programs. The South Coast 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.
El Camino Edges Long Beach City for Third
Mt. San Antonio’s 23 alumni — the most in the conference — produce a Raw APS of 103.9, including 11 NCAA Division I alumni. Cerritos ranks second at 84.0. El Camino’s Raw APS of 81.8 edges Long Beach City’s 79.6 for third, even though Long Beach City has more total alumni (19 to 18) — El Camino’s stronger NCAA Division I and II placement (15 alumni to Long Beach City’s 9) makes the difference.

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.
