They're kinda glossing over that particular criterion, aren't they? Leaving in good academic standing isn't the same as graduating. I'm not even sure what it means -- couldn't a freshman who aced all first semester classes and then decided to just quit school to deal drugs be said to have "left in good academic standing?"

Stop questioning things and be happy with your runner-up t-shirts. Even if that were true that would simply mean we also win the Conference Championship in finding loopholes.

Congrats to everyone that competed.

Everyone point and laugh at anyone who didn't score above 59.

Seems like a more lucrative career choice than selling flood insurance or being a recruiter.

Good on them!

At most institutions, good academic standing only equates to a 2.0 or higher cumulative GPA. Some different policies exist that require enrollment in sufficient/correct classes that ensure adequate progression toward a degree, probation or suspension for consecutive semester GPAs below 2.0 regardless of Cum GPA, etc.

I assume the report accepts each college or university's standard for student standing.
