Why can't the person who deserves it win it?

Weekly awards. They sometimes go to the person who deserves the award. Top Drawer Soccer and College Soccer 360 got it right.

Explain to me how the NSCAA couldn't get it right. Is two goals,one match winner and an assist better than four goals and two match winnners.

No!

Unfortunetly weekly awards rarely go to the most deserving person. Sometimes they do, but conferences and award selection committees like to give it to a team that doesn't usually get recognized because those teams are no good. The last place team in the conference beat a bad Division I school 1-0 in overtime. Let's give the award to their player because they never win. They never go, oh let's give it to the girl who scored two goals this weekend from the best team in the conference.

Look at the winners of the weekly awards and see how often they translate to player of the year awards. I swear I've seen a player win player of the year award but never the player of the week award. Does that make any sense?
