Capital One became the entitlement rights holder to
CoSIDA’s Academic All-America teams programs in 2011. The
Academic All-District ® teams include the student-athletes
listed on the following pages and are divided into eight geographic
districts across the United States and Canada. This is the first
year of the expanded Academic All-America® program as CoSIDA
moves from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a
College Division (all non Division I) and doubles the number of
scholar-athletes honored. The teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA
Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College
Division team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.
First-team Academic All-District ® honorees advance to the
Capital One Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-,
second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later
this month.
