MEMPHIS, Tenn. – What a year, Tiger Nation! It's like 2019, please don't go.
University of Memphis athletics, indeed, had a tremendous 2019 in the arenas of competition. And the Tigers were just as impressive in the classroom throughout the year, including their 2019 fall semester report card that was released Wednesday.
The Memphis athletics department posted a 3.171 grade-point average (GPA) for the 2019 fall semester, marking the 13th consecutive term with at least a 3.0 GPA. Fourteen of the 17 teams recorded a 3.0 GPA or higher.
"I'm extremely proud of our student-athletes," said Fernandez West, Associate Athletics Director for Academic Services and Director of the Center for Athletic Academic Services (CAAS).
