DALLAS (FWAA) The Football Writers Association of America announces its 2009 All-America Committee, which selects the 25-man All-America Team and the winners of the Bronko Nagurski and Outland trophies. This spring, the committee will help select the FWAA All-America Watch List and the watch lists for both of the FWAA's major player awards.
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 1,100 men and women who cover college football
for a living. 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 and its annual All-America
team. For more information about the FWAA and its award programs, contact Steve
