Academic All-Americans (since 1952)

The College Sports Communicators (CSC; formerly College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA)) annually selects Academic All-America® Teams in 16 programs – football, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, and volleyball in the fall, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men's swimming & diving, and women's swimming & diving in the winter, baseball, softball, men's tennis, women's tennis, men’s track/cross country, and women’s track/cross country as well as men’s at-large sports and women’s at-large sports in the spring. At-large sports include crew, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, and water polo and included swimming & diving and tennis until the 2022-23 academic year. Starting in 2011-12, a first-team, second-team, and third-team are selected in NCAA Div. I, II, and III, and NAIA (football consists of just first- and second-teams). Prior to that, they were broken down by University (NCAA Div. I and I-AA) and College (NCAA Div. II and III, and NAIA) Divisions.
