2015-16 AAC All-Academic Team
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (The American/SMU) – American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco announced the All-Academic team, which recognizes student-athletes with at least a 3.0 GPA, on Thursday, Aug. 18, and 202 SMU student-athletes earned the honor, a figure which represents nearly 50 percent of all student-athletes at SMU.
Nominations for the All-Academic Team are submitted by each of the American Athletic Conference's member institutions. To be eligible for the honor, a nominee must have competed in an American Athletic Conference-sponsored sport, attained a minimum grade-point average of 3.00 for the preceding academic year, and completed a minimum of two consecutive semesters or three consecutive quarters of academic work, with a total of 18 semester or 27 quarter credits, not including remedial courses.
Rowing had the most student-athletes listed with 32 maintaining at least a 3.0 GPA. Football had 29 representatives, men's swimming and diving had 27, while women's swimming and diving had 22 student-athletes on the list.
SMU had the sixth highest number of student-athletes to earn the accolade. Cincinnati led the league with 273 honors, while Connecticut, East Carolina, Temple, USF and Tulsa also eclipsed 200. SMU's total does not include equestrian student-athletes, as it is not a sport sponsored by the American Athletic Conference.
