The University of South Carolina topped the list of all SEC schools with 104 student-athletes named to the conference spring academic honor roll. South Carolina had 18 students more than any other school in the conference. The University of Florida was next with 86 honorees. The University of Georgia was close behind with 80 spring student-athletes honored.

“It’s definitely an honor for our student-athletes and the University of South Carolina to represent the top of the SEC in this category. It certainly speaks volumes to the dedication and effort our student-athletes, as well as the support of our coaches, administrators, and the Academic Enrichment Center staff,” said Raymond Harrison, Director of Academic and Life Skills.

A total of 861 student-athletes were named to the 2007 SEC Spring Academic Honor Rollas announced by Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive.
Each student-athlete must 1) have a GPA of 3.00 for either the preceding academic year or have a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution; 2) be on scholarship, a letter winner or have participated on a varsity team for two years if non-scholarship; 3) have completed 24 semester hours of credit at the nominating institution; and 4) have been a member of the varsity team for the sport’s entire NCAA Championship segment.

The 2007 SEC Spring Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2006 Summer, 2006 Fall and 2007 Spring terms.
