Irving, Texas – Nine Bears from six different sports have been awarded the 2020 Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award, the Big 12 Conference's highest academic honor, the league announced recently.
Overall, eighty-nine student-athletes were awarded the 2020 Dr. Lage Academic Award and the Bears' nine honorees were the fourth-most in the conference after having a league-best 18 honorees in 2019.
The award is in its 10th year and has recognized a total of 780 conference student-athletes. Over the last three years, the Bears have had 33 honorees.
In order to be eligible for the accolade, student-athletes must have lettered at least once in their career while maintaining residence at their institution for at least one academic year. The honoree, which can only be recognized once, should have 100 hours of earned credit with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.80 at the time of the nomination.
The award is in memory of Lage, who served as the Oklahoma State faculty athletics representative with the NCAA and the Big Eight/Big 12 Conference from 1983 until his death in 2007.
