Many other sports writers, newspapers, coaches and others also selected All-America teams in 1910. The Philadelphia Inquirer published a consensus All-America team based on the first-team All-America selections made by 25 football experts.[3 ]
Consensus All-Americans
edit
The only two individuals who have been recognized as "official" selectors by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for the 1908 season are Walter Camp and Caspar Whitney , who had originated the College Football All-America Team 14 years earlier in 1889.[2 ] In its official listing of "Consensus All-America Selections," the NCAA designates players who were selected by either Camp or Whitney as "consensus" All-Americans.[2 ] Using this criterion, the NCAA recognizes 16 players as "consensus" All-American for the 1908 football season.[2 ] The consensus All-Americans are identified in bold on the list below ("All-Americans of 1908").
