Great news to get the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association’s academic rankings this week — I’m always glad to see the student portion of student-athlete get recognized.

Also, they used to come out in August, when it’s so far past the end of the school year that it’s dated to mention it.

Congrats to Hardin-Simmons and the other 23 Division III women’s basketball teams recognized. Hopefully someday the National Association of Basketball Coaches can do the same for men’s basketball.
