There were three ties in the award's history, in 1978, 1981 and 1988. One player, Darrell Griffith of Louisville, was also named the national player of the year (1980) by being presented the John R. Wooden Award.
Louisville represents the most all-time winners with eight. The second-most belong to Southern Miss with three, all of which belong to Clarence Weatherspoon. Weatherspoon was the only three-time winner of the award, while two others earned it twice (Keith Lee and Clifford Rozier).
