UGA scholar-athletes

The sports information office released a list of UGA athletes who posted a 3.0 or higher in the spring. That includes 26 football players -- and two of the brand new early enrollees. Wish I'd started college that well. Maybe now I'd have a real job...

A total of 248 University of Georgia student-athletes posted a grade point
average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher for spring semester, according to figures released by the University of Georgia Athletic Association. These athletes were honored for their academic accomplishments by being named to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll.
