NEW YORK – Creighton had 160 student-athletes recognized by the BIG EAST Conference with a selection to the 2018-19 BIG EAST All-Academic Team.
Nominations for the All-Academic Team are submitted by each of the BIG EAST's 10 member and nine affiliate institutions. To be eligible for the honor, a nominee must have competed in a BIG EAST-sponsored sport, attained a minimum grade-point average of 3.00 for the preceding academic year, and completed a minimum of two consecutive semesters or three consecutive quarters of academic work, with a total of 18 semester or 27 quarter credits, not including remedial courses.
The nominations are reviewed and approved by the BIG EAST Academic Affairs Committee. There are 2,938 honorees for the 2018-19 academic year; the highest total in the five years since realignment. For the second-consecutive year Villanova led all schools with 342 student-athletes recognized.
All 13 of Creighton's BIG EAST teams had student-athletes honored, led by 25 baseball players.
