Women's Track Team wins ACC Sportsmanship Award

Interesting - (story here). The track team comes in 2nd place and wins this award, which is voted on by the other teams. I didn't realize that every sponsored sport has this same honor. Here are the major sport winners:

ACC Football: Duke
ACC Hoops: Clemson

Are we seeing a pattern here? In the major sports it appears the teams that suck the most are the best "sports". I can see the award ceremony. "Thanks for allowing the rest of us to beat up on you all year. You were really good about it. Here, have this trophy and please come back again next year. We would love to see you compete again".

The real negative is for GT and UNC. GT lost to Duke in football and UNC lost to Clemson in hoops - thereby almost disqualifying them for the award.
