    More "MAKING THE GRADE" news: On June 24, the Summit League announced SDSU won the achievement award for academics.

    South Dakota State student-athletes claimed The Summit League's Institutional Academic Achievement Award for the 2009-10 academic year, league officials announced Thursday.

      In the Commissioner's academic achievement award SDSU has finished thus:

      2007/8 - 1st
      2008/9 - 2nd
      2009/10 - 1st

      In the Commissioner's Cup:

      2007/8 - 3rd
      2008/9 - 2nd
      2009/10 - 2nd

      That's a pretty nice blend of academic and athletic achievement.
