The ASC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete Team recognizes student-athletes who attain a high level of academic achievement while competing as a starter or important reserve on his or her athletic team. The student-athlete must be a member of the season's ASC Academic All-Conference team; carry a cumulative grade-point average of at least a 3.20 and participate in at least 50 percent of the team's season contests
From that list – limited to one nominee per institution in each ASC championship sport – the conference sports information directors select the Distinguished Scholar-Athlete within each sport.
