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.

This isn't about being an academic all-american, it's about being named to the SEC academic honor roll. If it was so easy, I'm sure the other SEC schools would load up the honor roll, right?

No, but at Bama textbooks do take points - and wins - off the scoreboard, don't they?

It's all about the programs the athletes are in. All this means is all the USC athletes major in poultry science and music theory.

And you think the A&M athletes are taking advanced level Chemistry courses?

So you think Arky is fricking easy yet its athletes can't out-perform ours academically?

Ryan Tannehill was a microbiology major. Stephen McGee was a Busness major who had his masters before the end of his last football season. Spencer Nealy is a chemistry major. Three of our current players are engineering majors.
I'm not saying all our athletes are taking tugh majors, but it's better than at lower end schools. I'm sure UF has a lot of solid majors amonst their players.

I think it is much harder for an athlete at Vandy, A&M, or Florida to get on the honor roll than at South Carolina.
Personally, I don't give the slightest shite how many of Arkansas' athletes made the fricking honor roll. I guess if this kind of thing makes you happy, then more power to you.

Congratulations. You may never contribute anything in football, but at least you are the academic king of the SEC.
Except for Vanderbilt.
There's always college baseball.
