The numbers are in for the Cincinnati athletics academic scores this spring and they were historically good. UC athletes posted a school-record 3.52 Grade Point Average, marking the 34th-straight grading period at 3.0 or higher.

It was also a program-record team grade point average for the 2024 Bearcats football squad.

The program announced a teamwide 3.488 GPA, including nine players who earned a 4.0 or higher. A total of 86 Bearcats made the Honor Roll (3.0 GPA or higher).

Our spring semester:

3.52 GPA = Department record
348 student-athletes on Honor Roll
69 Bearcats with a perfect 4.0
