Not only good on the court, but off it as well

Maybe the football team and basketball team can attend the same study sessions as the Women's basketball team.

AMAZING!! Great job ladies. You do the university proud. And the read the bottom line!


GETTING IT DONE IN THE CLASSROOM, TOO
The fall semester has come to a close, and the Falcon women's basketball student-athletes were just as successful in the classroom as they have been on the court ... head coach Curt Miller reports that 11 of the 15 current team members had a grade-point average of 3.00 or higher in the fall semester, including five student-athletes with a perfect 4.00 GPA for the term ... entering the spring 2009 semester, no fewer than 10 of the 15 have a cumulative GPA of 3.40 or better.

"I am proud of our players and the success they achieved in the classroom during the fall semester," said Miller. It is a credit to their dedication and time management skills to successfully balance their academic workload and the demands of being a Division I athlete. Our program has an excellent academic tradition during our tenure and our current players are only adding to this tradition."

Every student-athlete who has exhausted her four years of eligibility under Miller's tenure has graduated.

Whoa, 5 of 15 got 4.0's?!

I don't care what team or student organization you're talking about, 33% 4.0s is incredible. FWIW, I've never got a 4.0 in any semester, so to do that while participating in university athletics, it just gives me an appreciation for these student-athletes and the coaching staff. They clearly have their priorities in order.

As for the comment about football and men's basketball ever putting up a GPA like that, NOT BLOODY LIKELY.
