Six Stellar Cardinal Athletes Shine on Academic All-District Team

MUNCIE, Ind. – Six players from Ball State’s football team have been selected for the 2024 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Football Team in NCAA Division I. Academic All-District teams honor the nation’s leading student-athletes for their achievements both in sports and academics.
