Academics, apparently, aren't a reason why Michael Braunstein isn't being asked back for another season.

The Pac-10 Conference All-Academic Team was just released and Braunstein was named honorable mention.

The only Husky named to the first team was receiver Cody Ellis, who was named to the first-team for the third straight year.

To be eligible for selection to the academic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point average and be either a starter or significant substitute. Following is the 2006 Pacific-10 Conference All-Academic Football Team:
