The Porter Cup was a sterling silver loving cup trophy once awarded by the Porter Clothing Company to the best all-around athlete from a major southern university, including the University of Alabama, Birmingham-Southern College,[1] Tulane and Tennessee's three major universities: Vanderbilt, Sewanee and Tennessee.[2][3][4] The three in Tennessee were given by Alf Porter, and Alabama's was given by Henry Porter Loving.[5] Alabama's is thus also called the "Porter Loving Cup".
