Academic All-Americans ® are nominated and voted upon by members of College Sports Communicators (CSC). CSC was previously know as the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
To be nominated, student-athletes must have at least a 3.50 cumulative point average and must be at least a sophomore both academically and athletically. SIDs nominate student-athletes for the CSC Academic All-District Teams. Their candidacy will then be evaluated by a sub-committee and only a select group of student-athletes will advance from the all-district teams to the Academic All-American ballots.
Further nomination criteria can be found on the CSC website HERE
Minnesota State is extremely proud of its Academic All-America team members.
