Capital One Academic All-District ® Men’s Basketball Teams Released
The 2013-14 Capital One Academic All-District ® Men’s Basketball Teams, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America,
have been released to recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. Capital One
has been the entitlement rights holder to CoSIDA’s Academic All-America teams programs since 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 second year of the expanded Academic All-America® program as CoSIDA moved from recognizing a
University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non Division I) and has doubled the number of scholar-athletes honored. The expanded
teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division Academic All-America ® Team
combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.
The Capital One Division II and III Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national
governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2013-14 DII and DIII Academic All-America® teams
program.
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.
