It's named the Fulmer Cup because UF grads started it.

Hate to burst your bubble, but the "award" is not part of the ESPN College Football Awards. It's a blog award. If it were anything more than a joke they would have re-named it the Meyer Cup or added Urbans name at least. But that's probably not something UF grads have any interest in doing, although he's not as popular as he used to be down there.

who said it was an ESPN award.
From wiki

The**Fulmer Cup**is a tongue-in-cheek award given each year in the United States to the*Division I FBs
college footbal
*program whose players collectively have the worst criminal record.[1]

The Fulmer cup was conceived in 2006 by sports blogger*Orson Swindle, a fan of football rival Florida, and named for then-University of Tennessee football
*coach*Phillip Fulmer
. While Fulmer was coach, the Tennessee team had over 20 players arrested for criminal activity in a 16 month period from 2004 through 2005. This mirrored a similar outbreak of criminal activity at the University of Tennessee in 1995 when 9 players were arrested. Since this seemed to be a recurrent theme at Tennessee under Fulmer, the cup was named in his honor (USA Today). The*University of Delaware
*holds the record for highest score among*Division I FCS
programs.

No one said it was on ESPN. Someone itt is under the impression that it's as relevant as the Maxwell Award or the Sears Trophy. It is infact more comparable to the award for "Coolest Shirt at the Teen Choice Awards" presented by http://www.caitlynsfashionland.geocities.com

It's a shame.
Phil has not won the only award named after himself. it is pretty bad when he can't win his own award.

If unscrupulously obtaining the coaching job means Fulmer is a not a great coach, then a guy who basically put professionals on the court certainly is not a great coach (Wooden). And Bryant is strongly alleged to have been a cheater. His entire coaching tree consists of cheaters. Not a great coach.

You going denigrate John Wooden? Seriously?
The man's character was legendary.


Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Be prepared and be honest.

It was a joke, but everyone knew there was a kernal of truth to it, that's why it was funny. That year I think Fulmer had somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 players with off the field problems.

John Wooden didn't start winning until he started cheating.
