Have you heard about how the college sports landscape is changing?

No? Well, you have a lot to catch up on. Yes? Well, rest assured some things haven’t changed. For example, players can play for a different team each of their eligibility. But if you want to play for Vanderbilt, there are academic standards to maintain.

Specifically, athletes will have to ensure the school’s 31 consecutive semesters of its student-athletes producing a cumulative GPA above 3.0 doesn’t end. That streak continued with this past semester, with all student-athletes combining for a 3.45 GPA.

The women’s golf team produced the highest team GPA, a 3.94 for the semester. On the men’s side, the cross country squad led the way with a 3.78 GPA for the term, but every Vanderbilt program had a GPA above 3.0.
