FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Feb. 11, 2016

CoSIDA Academic All-District™ Men’s Teams Released

The 2015-16 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District™ Men’s Basketball Teams have been released to recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.

The Academic All-District™ teams include the student-athletes listed on the following pages and are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the fifth year of the expanded Academic All-America® program as CoSIDA moved from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non-Division I) and has doubled the number of scholar-athletes honored. The expanded teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division Academic All-America® Team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.

The Division II and III Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures, to CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2015-16 DII and DIII Academic All-America® teams program.

First-team Academic All-District™ honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third- team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.

For more information about the Academic All-District™ and Academic All-America® Teams program, please visit www.cosida.com.
