The University of Louisville athletics department announced on Sunday that 414 student-athletes earned Red and Black Scholar-Athletes honors for fall semester. The honor is awarded to student-athletes who maintained at least a 3.25 cumulative grade-point average.
The group, which was recognized during the Cardinals’ women’s basketball game, consists of student-athletes, managers, trainers, spirit squads and the pep band.
UofL’s women’s basketball, women’s cross country and women’s golf received NCAA Public Recognition Awards in the fall for being among the top 10% in their respective sports in the latest figures for the Academic Progress Rate (APR), which measures academic eligibility, retention and graduation for student-athletes.
