Talking Point
"There's an old adage, 'control what you can control'. Our student-athletes do a phenomenal job of just that with the work they put in the classroom. We are very appreciative of their efforts. At the same time, congratulations to our coaches and academic support staff for providing every means possible for each and every student-athlete to complete their academic work to the best of their abilities." –
Vice Chancellor for Athletics Mark Wharton
