NDSU had 115 athletes in 12 sports make the Summit League’s 2010-11 Commissioner’s List of Academic Excellence. Overall, a total of 1,077 student-athletes from all 19 league-sponsored sports were honored for their work in the classroom.

NDSU tied with Oakland University, Oral Roberts University and South Dakota State University for second place with 42 percent of student-athletes honored, only behind Centenary College of Louisiana with 44 percent.

The Summit League also recognized Team Academic Achievement Awards in each sport based on percentage of list-eligible student-athletes on the Commissioner’s List. The NDSU men’s track and field team claimed the Team Academic Achievement Award for the second straight year, grading out to 47 percent.

In order for a student-athlete to be selected to the Commissioner’s List of Academic Excellence, he/she must carry a 3.0 or better cumulative grade-point average, achieve sophomore academic standing at the institution, have used a year of eligibility and be on the squad list in the sport in which he/she is nominated.
