WVU Football ranks 6 in New America Foundation Accademic Bowl this year!

WVU Places 6th!

The New America Foundation pull the academic records from the schools found in the final BCS Poll of the regular season and then compiles this list.  I think it is telling that WVU had spent most of the expansion saga dealing with Academics being the (lie for an excuse) reason for exclusion from the ACC and SEC.  I look at this poll and WVU is 5 places better than any ACC team, only one SEC team ranks higher than WVU and that is by a mere 3 points.  Kind of interesting that the two Orange Bowl participants are the highest ranked from their respective conferences in academics.  A further point should be that we would rank near the top of our new conference trailing only the other new comer TCU.

Eer Nation is proud of this accomplishment.  This indicates that these football players are excelling in the classroom too.  Way to go fellas. This is a testament to the commitment of the coaching staff and academic support staff at the University towards athletics.   It is my hope that Eer Nation will remind everyone that WVU competes in the classroom.
