ACADEMIC BOWL...
Each fall, student-athletes from Case Western Reserve University and Carnegie Mellon University meet on the gridiron with the victor claiming the Academic Bowl (SEE PICTURE). This annual football game between two of the nation's top academic institutions began in the fall of 1986 and continues to be one of the more anticipated games for both teams each year. The two schools are among the nation's elite research and scholastic institutions, therefore a rivalry already exists in the academic aspect of the universities. So as competition in the classroom continues, the winner of the coveted Academic Bowl trophy can claim bragging rights on the athletic field for at least one year.
The Academic Bowl is more than a trophy as it emphasizes a "Commitment to Academic and Athletic Excellence". The academic part comes hand in hand being a student-athlete in the University Athletic Association whose members include, along with Case and Carnegie Mellon, some of the top institutions in the country including Brandeis University, the University of Chicago, Emory University, New York University, Rochester University, and Washington University. The athletic excellence side of the Academic Bowl involves the storied football traditions between these two schools.
The Spartans won the first Academic Bowl Trophy in 1986, defeating Carnegie Mellon 21-14. In the all-time Academic Bowl series, the Tartans hold a 15-6 advantage over Case.
