The award for the most ridiculous, self-absorbed, overzealous all sports entertainment network in the world goes to...
ESPN, for the 10th year running.
They have once again proven that outside the 4 major sports, Tiger Woods, and the Williams sisters, you're really not much of an athlete. Unless you count token consideration of Cael Sanderson and -ahem- Sarah Hughes (don't even get me started on figure skating).
No offense to college athlete of the year Sue Bird (UConn BB) but a certain swimmer from Cal who set at least 6 AR and 1 WR over the short course season would have had my vote.
Anyone else? Natalie Coughlin, female college athlete of the year as awarded by the USMS discussion crew?

I think that Ion has hit upon the ultimate idea for publicizing master's swimming: nudity.
If we make the nationals an all-nude competition and then publicize THAT, you'll have to use a pry-bar and lithium grease to squeeze the reporters into the venue. Of course, it would remain to be seen how many swimmers would actually show up...
Hey, I bet the Adult Swimming Association would consider it.
