CSC Release
Sixty-two student-athletes representing six Big West member-institutions were honored as members of the College Sports Communicators (CSC) 2026 Academic All-District® Men's and Women's At-Large Teams. The announcement was made on Tuesday via the CSC website.
The CSC academic awards program recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom.
The academic qualifications for the distinction are a minimum 3.50 cumulative grade-point average. Nominated student-athletes must have participated in at least 50 percent of the team's games this season, and should be a starter or important reserve on the field of play. All Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees in four divisions - NCAA Division I, Division II, Division III and NAIA - will be announced in April.
College Sports Communicators began the distinguished Academic All-America® program in 1952, and since then, has honored more than 38,000 deserving student-athletes from numerous sports across all divisions with these elite Academic All-America® scholar-athlete honors.
