Is there any news on when the Academic All-Americans from the spring will be in. Maybe they already have, and if so, can someone point me towards them.

what are the requirements for academic all-american?

Requirements for Academic All-America recognition for last season (Spring 2006):

First, a player must have a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher and be named to either the first or second all conference team. Cumulative GPA is determined as of the the player's last grades immediately preceding the start of the lacrosse season. If your school is on the semester system a player would need a cumulative 3.2 GPA as of the end of the 2005 fall semester.

Second, the player (or player's coach) must have submitted a certified copy of his official transcript to Commissioner Mosher by the specified deadline and Commissioner Mosher must have submitted the transcript to the appropriate member of the League (MCLA) executive board.

As the 2006 fall semester just ended, most GRLC players should know whether they have a cumulative GPA of 3.2 and whether they will be eligible to submit their transcript should they make first or second team all conference this spring.
