University of Alabama sets record with 10 students named to USA Today Academic All American Team
UA placed 10 on the list, which is double the two universities in the number 2 spot (Johns Hopkins and Washington University (St Louis)), which were tied at 5 each. 10 is the most that any university has placed on the list in a single year.
Is there any doubt that UA is on its way to being one of the premier public universities in the country? On par with schools like the University of North Carolina and the University of Texas? May not happen immediately, but I think the school is well on its way.

EDIT: Wanna know the best part? 8 of the 10 students are from the state of Alabama, so this isn't just a proud moment for UA, but the entire state.
