A committee comprised of coaches...Who votes? Is it possible that voters splitting their ballots for the two ND players would allow one of the others to sneak in?
I sort of agree. But in men's lacrosse no goalie has ever won the Tewaaraton Trophy. On the women's side, a goalie and a defender has won only once. Seems to be a lot like the Heisman, only players involved in scoring points win.
