6/21/2004 12:00:00 AM | Men's Golf
"As well as having a great year on the golf course, we had a great year in the classroom," said Indiana head coach Mike Mayer. "I couldn't be more proud of these guys. Our team GPA is the highest it has been since I've been head coach and one of the highest in the history of the program."
Overall, 91 Hoosier student-athletes were honored, fourth in the league, trailing only Ohio State (149), Penn State (127) and Minnesota (102).
A total of 915 spring and at-large sports student-athletes were named to the Academic All-Conference Team, an increase of 34 honorees over last year and the highest spring total in the last decade.
Overall, Indiana recognized 154 Academic All-Big Ten honorees during the 2003-04 academic year.
To be eligible for Academic All-Big Ten selection, student-athletes must be letterwinners, in at least their second academic year at their institution and carry a career grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better.
