“The importance of academics is definitely something that we stress with all of our student-athletes at DMACC,” DMACC Athletics Director B.J. McGinn said. “This is one of the cornerstones of the DMACC Athletic Department’s philosophy in terms of developing our student-athletes as both students and players. All of our coaches emphasize the fact that the priorities of their players is to be on time, go to class and do the things they need to do to graduate. We make sure that our students know that in order to transfer to a four-year college or university and continue playing, they need to excel in the classroom here at DMACC.”
