NEW ORLEANS - Division I and Sun Belt student-athletes continue to succeed in the classroom at record-high levels. The overall four-year Academic Progress Rate concluding with the 2017-18 academic year held steady nationally at 983, the highest ever recorded.
The announcement comes a week after twenty-one Sun Belt teams were recognized for academic excellence after scoring in the top 10 percent of their sports in the most recent Academic Progress Rates.
NCAA President Mark Emmert praised the commitment to higher education among Division I student-athletes.
"We are proud of the continued high level of academic success Division I student-athletes achieve," Emmert said.
