re: How was derek barnett not a finalist

Dear tennfanatic,

It is a shame how Barnett is being disrespected, as he's had a tremendous season. But academic performance has become an unspoken criterium in many of these awards. As I pointed out in a previous discussion about Barnett, the fact that he is considered functionally illiterate puts his academic status in question and it has unfortunately hurt voter perception of him.

He deserves better.

Sincerely,

Jeremy Foley
