Check this out from iuhoosiers.com.  Five Hoosiers named Academic All-Big Ten.  Justin and Zach are often mentioned in conversations on this site, sometimes not in a positive way, but there is nothing more impressive than this, juggling an athletes schedule and school work.  Vijay, Johnny and Quentin may not get the accolades as others on the team, but they put in the time as well, challenging, competing and making the team better.Congratulations to these fine young men.

Hold on. It’s a 3.0? Meaning everyone else is just above passing? That’s kind of wild.

 

Obviously, they have very demanding schedules. Just shocking the bar is that low for Academic All-B1G.

I thought the same thing...I get they have way more on their hands and stuff, but a 3.0 isn’t too difficult to attain in most majors

Exactly right.  I mean at University of No Classes you can get a 6.0 on a 4.0 scale without ever going to a class or doing any actual work on your own.
