The USA South Athletic Conference each year recognizes its student-athletes' hard work in the class room by naming an Academic All-Conference team.
Prior to the 2017-18 academic year, a student-athlete must have earned a 3.00 GPA in each of the two semesters of a given year to be eligible. Any student-athlete participating in any varsity sport at any Conference institution is eligible. The sport does not have to be a Conference-sponsored sport.
Beginning with the 2017-18 academic year, a student-athlete must have earned a 3.30 GPA in each of the two semesters of a given year to be eligible. Additionally, any student-athlete earning a 3.90 GPA or above earned the All-Academic honor "With Distinction".
