Formerly the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), College Sports Communicators overhauled the criteria and process for Academic All-America in the offseason. The minimum cumulative GPA was raised from 3.30 to 3.50. The all-district teams are no longer voted on, with everyone nominated for All-America being named to their respective all-district squad.
 
For the first time, College Sports Communicators capped the number of players each school was permitted to nominate, setting the limit at six. Last season, the Maroon & White dominated the 13-player all-district team with a school-record seven Aggies earning the distinction.
 
Since the program's inception in 1952, CoSIDA has bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 21,000 student-athletes in Divisions I, II, III and NAIA, covering all NCAA championship sports.
