IRVING, Texas – Twenty-eight Bears from eight different sports were recognized with the 2022 Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Award, the Big 12 Conference’s highest academic honor, the league announced on Wednesday.

The award is in its 12th year and has recognized a total of 1,065 conference student-athletes. Baylor led the way with 28 honorees, followed by Iowa State with 22.

Over the last six years, the Bears have had 82 honorees. The 28 recipients this year are the most in award history at Baylor.

The award is in memory of Lage, who served as the Oklahoma State faculty athletics representative with the NCAA and the Big Eight/Big 12 Conference from 1983 until his death in 2007.


In order to be eligible for the accolade, student-athletes must have lettered at least once in their career while maintaining residence at their institution for at least one academic year. The honoree, which can only be recognized once, should have 100 hours of earned credit with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.80 at the time of the nomination.


The Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award recipients’ names will be featured on the video board at the Phillips 66 Big 12 Basketball Championships, scheduled for March 10-13 at the T-Mobile Center and March 11-14 at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City.
