Bass completed the spring semester with a 4.0 grade point average in the graduate school as he is pursuing a master's degree in business. Residori, an All-American on the mat, holds a 3.50 GPA in business administration. Tindle, a two-time NCAA Division I qualifier, is a chemistry major and holds a 3.83 GPA.
To be eligible for the academic all-conference team, student-athletes had to carry at least a 3.3 cumulative grade point average at the conclusion of the spring semester – a change from the previous criteria that was based on the GPA entering the semester of competition – and were required to compete in at least one-half of their teams' competitions. In addition, the student-athletes must have successfully completed at least three semesters at their institutions, making true freshmen and first-year transfers ineligible for inclusion.
