Kansas Earns ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award
7/24/2024 3:32:00 PM | Baseball
LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas Baseball received the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Team Academic Excellence Award for the 2023-24 academic year, the organization announced Wednesday.
Kansas was one of six Big 12 schools (Baylor, Cincinnati, Oklahoma State, UCF, West Virginia) to receive the honor. The Jayhawks were also one of 129 Division I institutions to be recognized.
To be recognized, teams had to post a GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale for the entire 2023-24 academic year. KU earned a 3.44 cumulative GPA for the academic year. Kansas has received the award in four consecutive years, five times in the last six years and six times in program history.
In the fall semester, the program set a record with a 3.61 GPA. That mark established a new program record in the non-COVID era.
ABCA has a long tradition of recognizing the achievements of baseball coaches and student-athletes. The ABCA/Rawlings All-America Teams are the nation's oldest, founded in 1949, and the ABCA's awards program also includes the ABCA/Rawlings All-Region Awards, the ABCA/ATEC Regional & National Coaches of the Year and several other major awards such as the ABCA Hall of Fame and the Dave Keilitz Ethics in Coaching Award.
