18 of the 22 honorees were from Louisville, Duke, Virginia Tech, and Pittsburgh... Virgina, BC, ND, Syracuse, FSU, Wake, and NC State were without a single student athlete on the All-ACC Academic Team. From the outside it appears that most schools (either through coaches or academic advisors) try to guide their players towards certain majors. I'm guessing Communications is that way at Louisville... Duke really is no different. You'd be hard pressed to find five players in the last 25 years who haven't majored in History, Sociology, Psychology, Political Science, or African-American Studies. Matt Christensen received a degree in Civil Engineering, Shane Battier in Religion, and Nick Horvath in Physics. I'm sure there are others out there, but not many.
