Question.  What constitues academic all-big ten?  A certain grade point average or do they look at the average across the division and set a bench mark for people who made it and who are below?  I have no idea so I was just wondering.

Why does the Academic All Big Ten thing say he's a sociology major but his mgoblue profile says he's in the college of engineering?

EDIT: NVM some mgocreeper umich directory stalking says he's in LSA as a sociology major.

Congratulations to those who made it.  Not sure how the Academic All Big Ten Team works, but 8 guys sounds like a lot.  I think Rich Rod has done a good job stressing academics with this team, and I know it's one of the criteria DB is using to evaluate the coach.
