BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - South Carolina, for the seventh-consecutive fall, posted the most student-athletes on the Southeastern Conference Fall Academic Honor Roll, as the league released the list on Thursday.
The Gamecocks posted 74 student-athletes on the listing, based on grades from the 2012 spring, summer and fall terms, topping the list by a wide margin over second-place Georgia, who had 57. Vanderbilt had 55, while Florida and Kentucky both had 46. A total of 629 student-athletes earned the accolade for the fall.
Any student-athlete who participates in a Southeastern Conference championship sport or a student-athlete who participates in a sport listed on his/her institution's NCAA?Sports Sponsorship Form is eligible for nomination to the Academic Honor Roll. The following criteria should be followed: (1) A student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or above for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution. (2) If a student-athlete attends summer school, his/her grade point average during the summer academic term must be included in the calculation used to determine eligibility for the Academic Honor Roll. (3) Student-athletes eligible for the Honor Roll include those receiving an athletics scholarship, recipients of an athletics award (i.e., letter winner), and non-scholarship student-athletes who have been on a varsity team for two seasons. (4) Prior to being nominated, a student-athlete must have successfully completed 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of non-remedial academic credit toward a baccalaureate degree at the nominating institution. (5) The student-athlete must have been a member of a varsity team for the sport's entire NCAA Championship segment.

Wow, 7 years in a row...I wonder if there's been any other SEC school that's led that many consecutive years since the Divisional Format in the SEC (beginning 1992)....

Being an academic all-american means dick. Jamaal Charles and Vince Young were both TWO TIME academic AA.

Golly. Seriously, golly.
That's even more impressive than never winning an SECCG.
Keep up the splendid work.

I didn't know it was 7 consecutive years. I believe the Dodie Academic Enrichment Center has really paid off for the athletes. That was a solid capital investment.

Its only because if they miss study hall they have to masturbate to Steve Spurrier's workout pics

However, I'm a bit skeptical. I thought with a press release in Birmingham they'd find a way to cook the books to favor Alabama.

USCe is not a hard school.

I don't think that there are very many major universities that would be considered easy. My daughter is an exercise science major at USCe and some of her classes have been really tough. She was a 4.0 high school student in Iowa (which is a state known for it's education) and having had a daughter go to both the University of Iowa and one to the University of South Carolina, far more classes at the U of I lowered the grading scale for the students. Any athlete at any school should be commended for making the honor roll.
