Shut out of C-USA academic awards?

[Longtime]

I thought we were the school with the high academic standards for athletes? Not a single SMU team in any sport won a C-USA Sport Academic Award.

Is it harder to earn good grades at SMU?

Please tell me we were runners-up to Rice in a lot of these sports:

Sport - Recipient - GPA
Baseball - Memphis - 3.180
Men's Basketball - UCF - 2.865
Women's Basketball - UAB - 3.034
Men's Cross Country - Tulsa - 3.540
Women's Cross Country - Tulsa - 3.570
Football - Rice - 2.906
