TicketsCINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati football program has earned the 2025 Academic Achievement Award from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA).
UC is one of seven schools honored, joining Maryland, Middle Tennessee, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Temple. The Bearcats were also featured in 2017. The head coaches of the winning schools will be honored at the 2026 AFCA Convention in Charlotte on January 11.
The award is bestowed among schools with the highest Graduation Success Rate and a Federal Graduation Rate of 75 percent or better.
Last week, Cincinnati's athletics department posted its sixth-straight GSR of at least 90 percent (third in FBS), while football's 98 percent was also third.
