🤓 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 15!

The American Athletic Conference recently announced that all 15 of its member institutions have earned academic-based revenue distributions from the NCAA as a result of the 2023-24 academic achievement of their respective student-athletes.
 
Beginning in Spring 2020, a portion of Division I revenue began distribution to member schools based on the academic achievement of student-athletes. The model allows schools with higher graduation rates and academic success to qualify for more funds.

🌾 Have a fabulous weekend, Shocker Nation!
