Nebraska was one of 34 schools nationally to have its football program recognized Thursday with the 2007 Academic Achievement Award by the American Football Coaches Association.
The Huskers were one of just 34 Division I-A schools to be honored for graduating 70 percent or more of their football student-athletes. Just four of the 34 schools were honored for graduating 90 percent or more of its student-athletes.
Nebraska has been honored by the AFCA for its 70 percent or better graduation rate for seven straight years and 11 times since 1994. The Huskers were one of four Big 12 schools honored by the AFCA, joining Baylor, Texas and Texas Tech that also graduated 70 percent or more of their football student-athletes.
