Busting Brackets’ All-Americans, NPOY, FOTY and more

facebooktwitterreddit

I did not want to do this. However, against my better judgement, welcome to Busting Brackets’ first annual Regular Season Award

show

post. Things like All-Americans, Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, and more will all be hurled out here.

We came up with the recipients of these fictional rewards via democracy. Each writer cast their votes for each particular category, I

took way too long to

tabulated them and here we are. Think of it as some form of part science, part maths and a full mess of not realizing how much everyone will play to their biases.

This is pretty simple. We list the category, print the winner and you tell us how dumb we are.

Okay. Off we go to the point of no sane return.
