Holy Cross was the only Patriot League team recognized out of more than 470 collegiate programs that were honored. It is the latest academic honor for the Crusaders, who had 22 student-athletes named to the Spring 2024 Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.

Surprising to me that of 470 programs, only Holy Cross among the PL schools qualified. Not one of the other 469 schools was in the PL? Thought we were in an academic first league.

At any rate, congrats to our baseball players.

Some of the brainier PL schools like Colgate, BU and American have forsaken the American Pastime. Not sure how brainy Loyola is, but being in the hometown of Babe Ruth they really should be sending a strong nine out there.

One factor is that to qualify the for the award, a team’s coach has to be a member of ABCA. Many coaches, including that at Bucknell, are not members. Bucknell‘s team in the spring semester this year had a 3.43 GPA and easily qualified.

here’s a complete list of how many from each school qualified for the PL academic honor roll:
