Bogus: BTN B1G National Players of the Year

[MennoSota]

Watching the top 10 B1G players who got player of the year and Mychel Thompson doesn't make the top 10.
Instead there's multiple OSU (3), Michigan (2) and IU (2) players. Give me a break. Just another example of the BTN kowtowing to ohio.
I place Mychel as top 5.

Glenn Robinson called the GOAT.

Can you post their list so we can make determinations? This thread is just you talking.

Is it based on just college stats? Big Dog averaged 30pts and 10 rebounds as a sophomore. Pretty good season.

You'd have to watch the 30 minute show the BTN aired. If you like ohio, michigan and indiana with one from msu and purdue, you'd love the list.

Again, great thread. We know 1 of the 10 names and are told to watch a 30 minute show. Thanks!

Yep. Sorry I didn't spoon feed you.

I am way off MennoSota. Apologies.

Tried to find the info, but came up with Big Ten Player of the Year. Not National.

Came up with this stuff after re-reading your post.

Thompson was from 74-78. Couldn't have won Big Ten Player of the Year. Wasn't in existence yet.
He didn't win National Player of the Year.

Yeah, I looked on the BTN website, but they don't have anything in print. Dienhart has an article, but it isn't the same exact list used on the show.

That's the article I saw also. (I'm like your intern.)

Here is eight of the ten mentioned (not in order, Robinson was #1). I can't remember the other two on the list.

Gary Bradds
Cazzie Russell
Scott May
Glenn Robinson
Frank Kaminsky
Trey Burke
Denzel Valentine
Jerry Lucas

I thought Mychal Thompson won as a senior in 1978. Wiki says otherwise. Perhaps he was just 1st team all-american.

Definitely disappointed they didn’t honor him for an award he didn’t win

On a positive note BTN did a top ten Big Ten athletes of all time that aired last week. Jesse Owens was number 1 and he should be. Dave Winfield was number 2.
