ATLANTA — The University of Tennessee is one of 30 NCAA Power Five programs, including only four from the Southeastern Conference, to earn academic recognition from the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association.
The Lady Vols earned “Special Mention” status for their collective 3.301 grade point average as part of the WBCA’s Academic Team Honor Roll released this week. Earlier this summer, the UT women placed nine members of their 15-player 2023-24 roster on the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA and two-year college women’s basketball teams across the nation that carry the highest combined GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2023-24 season is the 29th in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls.
“The WBCA is pleased to recognize those women’s basketball programs that have committed themselves to excellence on the court and in the classroom,” said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. “The 112 teams we honor this year strive to achieve all-around success and we commend their efforts. Congratulations!”
