My alarm clock is set to some Forks radio station and when it went off the day that the story broke they were discussing it. Moreso they were making fun of the nomination to the NCAA for the award. I have no idea what radio station it was and I only listened for a couple minutes. But it was pretty clear that they weren't taking the nomination or the award very seriously and ridiculing it.
If I had an important award to hand out, I would make sure that it was given to someone that is actually deserving or someone or something that would be mocked like this was. I guess that I haven't gotten too fired up about it, because it basically means nothing.
The one thing that keeps going through my head is, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you."
