The American Volleyball Coaches Association Academic Award was established in 1992/93 so for a team to have won nine of them in 17 years speakes volumes of that programs attention to academic success. The award is presented to collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale.
Whats even more impressive than winning it every other year (on average) is the recent performance winning it five out of the past six years (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and now 2009)
Seven of the 71 teams receiving the Team Academic Award this season represent the MAC (Akron, Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Toledo and Western Michigan).
