Nobody has posted this so I figured I would.



The University of Toledo has been named the winner of the 2011-12 Mid-American Conference Institutional Academic Achievement Award. For the academic year, UT's 351 student-athletes posted an overall athletic grade point average of 3.171. It is the first time that the Rockets have won the award.

"We are very proud that our student-athletes won the MAC Institutional Academic Award for 2011-12," said UT Athletic Director Mike O'Brien. "This is a great honor and a true indicator of the dedication and effort of our student-athletes in the classroom. This honor is also shared by the coaches, classroom instructors and Rocket academic staff that work so hard in mentoring and nurturing our student-athletes."

The MAC Institutional Academic Achievement Award is presented annually to the conference institution which achieves the highest overall institutional GPA for student-athletes competing in institutionally sponsored sports for the academic year. It is just the latest academic honor for the Rockets. Last spring, UT student-athletes set an all-time high with a collective GPA of 3.266. The UT men's program also won the MAC Faculty Athletic Representative Award for highest GPA in both 2009-10 and 2010-11.

The top three MAC schools by GPA are as follows:

Don't forget our Pharmacy program.

That sort of performance should prevent a repeat of UT's APR problems.

Those rankings from the magazines don't mean squat because everybody is fudging the numbers to get a higher ranking. Emory University just got busted for inflating numbers to U.S. News and World Reports to help with their ranking.

DrTorch is just bitter because BG has won that award very often. CMU kicked butt for quite a while. These kind of things hurt the poor man's pride. Let him have his fun on a message board while everyone else has their fun in the real world.
