Cleveland, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference announced that 13 BGSU student-athletes were named Distinguished Scholar-Athletes across six sports during the 2017 fall athletics season.
Student-athletes must maintain a 3.20 cumulative grade point average to be eligible for the award and must have participated in at least 50 percent of the team's contests. First-year students and junior college transfers in their first year of residency are not eligible. From the list of eligible student-athletes, the MAC's faculty athletic representatives select the Distinguished Scholar-Athletes from each sport, equivalent to 20 percent of nominees.
The BGSU football time led the way with five honorees, tied for the most in the MAC.
