107 Hoosiers Honored for Academic Excellence

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Big Ten Conference recognized a total of 1,281 students competing in fall sports who have been named to the Academic All-Big Ten team Wednesday.

The list of honorees includes 103 field hockey students, 468 football students, 102 men's and 189 women's cross country students, 115 men's and 209 women's soccer students and 95 volleyball students.

Indiana had a total of 107 honorees on the list for the fall of 2018.

"Reaching our highest academic potential is one of our top priorities, and we are extremely proud of these 107 individuals for their accomplishments and commitment to excellence in the classroom," said IU Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Fred Glass. "These awards are not only a credit to our students, but also our coaches and academic support staff who play an invaluable role in helping our students reach their full academic potential."

To be eligible for Academic All-Big Ten selection, students must be on a varsity team, as verified by being on the official squad list as of November 1 for fall sports, who have been enrolled fulltime at the institution for a minimum of 12 months and carry a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.

Big Ten Faculty Representatives established the Distinguished Scholar Award in 2008 to supplement the Academic All-Big Ten program. Similar to the Academic All-Big Ten honor, Distinguished Scholar Award recipients must be letterwinners in at least their second academic year at their institution. However, the Distinguished Scholar Award encompasses only students with a minimum GPA of 3.7 or higher for the previous academic year, excluding summer school. The Academic All-Big Ten threshold is a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher for a student's academic career.
