DALLAS (FWAA) The Football Writers Association of America is announcing the addition of three members to its 2008 All-America Committee, which selects the 25-man team and winners of the Bronko Nagurski and Outland trophies.
Phil Stukenborg of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Chadd Cripe of the Idaho Statesman and Frank Coyle of draftinsiders.com have been added to the committee, which convenes twice in November.
The FWAA has chosen an All-America Team annually since the 1944 season. It is the second longest continuously-published team in major college football.
The Football Writers Association of America, a non-profit organization founded in 1941, consists of more than 900 men and women across North America who cover college football. The membership includes journalists, broadcasters and publicists, as well as key executives in all the areas that involve the game. The FWAA works to govern areas that include gameday operations, major awards, a national poll and its annual All-America team.
