NORMAN, Okla. -- The University of Oklahoma baseball team had three of its student-athletes named to the 2012 Academic All-Big 12 teams on May 15.
 
Seniors Caleb Bushyhead (communication) and Erik Ross (multi-disciplinary studies) were named to the first team.  It marked the third career honor for Bushyhead and his second straight appearance on the first team.  Ross made his first career appearance on the academic team.
 
Redshirt-sophomore Jordan John (energy management major) rounded out the 2012 honorees with his selection, a career first, to the second team.
 
Oklahoma has had at least two honorees on the academic all-conference team since 1993. 
 
Nominated by each institution’s director of student-athlete support services and the media relations offices, the baseball academic all-league squad consisted of 43 first team members combined with 26 on the second team.  First team members consist of those who have maintained a 3.20 or better GPA, and the second team are those who have a 3.00 to 3.19 GPA.
 
To qualify student-athletes must maintain a 3.00 GPA or higher either cumulative or the two previous semesters. All position players nominated must have participated in 60 percent of their team’s scheduled contests, while pitchers are required to have at least one inning pitched per game played by the team or have appeared in  20 percent of their team’s total games.  Freshmen and transfers are not eligible in their first year of academic residence. Senior student-athletes who have participated for a minimum of two years and meet all the criteria except percent of participation are also eligible.
