NSU All-Academic Team

NORFOLK, Va. – For the fifth year in a row, the Norfolk State athletics department set a new program record for student-athletes on the MEAC All-Academic Team. NSU had 93 earn conference all-academic honors for the 2014-15 academic year as the MEAC office released the entire list last week for all conference schools.

The Spartans bested their previous all-time high of 89 from 2013-14. NSU has seen gradual increases of student-athletes on the all-academic team over the past several years, from 40 in 2009-10 to 54 in 2010-11, 67 in 2011-12, 76 in 2012-13 and then 89 and now 93 the last two years.

To be eligible for the MEAC All-Academic Team, a student-athlete must be a sophomore or higher in their athletic standing, be in at least their second year at the school in 2014-15 and have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better.

Among the MEAC’s 13 institutions, NSU’s total of 93 was bested only by Howard (159), South Carolina State (101), Bethune-Cookman (99) and North Carolina A&T (99). Of those four schools, only S.C. State does not have more sports programs than NSU.
