In addition to the Big East's success on the playing field, its member schools have demonstrated a commitment to academic excellence as well. More than 350 Big East student-athletes have earned Academic All-America honors. This is a large and diverse conference, as committed to smarts as they are passionate about sports. This book introduces the reader to the lore, legend, and living tradition of these gritty, hard-nosed, but scholarly student-athletes.
