October 8, 2020
The Saint John’s University football program was ranked No. 1 in College Athletic Advisor’s Top 20 Programs That Inspire on Wednesday, Oct. 7.
The program rankings are open to all four-year, collegiate-level programs outside of NCAA Division I and are based on a subjective assessment of student experience in four areas:
- Holistic development of student-athletes in the institution;
- Academic achievement and support for the academic success of student-athletes;
- Overall college experience for participants within the program;
- Affordability/graduation rates/student satisfaction.
Although College Athletic Advisor’s list is subjective, the organization believes these rankings “present an informed starting point for a discussion about where student-athletes can excel as ‘triple-threat’ competitors (academics, athletics, and socially) in college and in their future lives.”
