The AT&T ESPN All-America Player is a joint marketing venture between AT&T and ESPN that allows fans to select college football's player of the week and player of the year respectively. Each "vote" counts as an entry into an AT&T sweepstakes, usually for a trip to the BCS National Championship game. According to a press release, AT&T does not "divulge or confirm the number of votes". AT&T and ESPN share the revenue generated from the promotion.{{Cite web|url=http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=4800&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=24294|title=All News Features}} The award was previously known as the Cingular All-America Player before AT&T acquired Cingular.[https://archive.today/20070617054705/http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/352/C6784 AT&T acquires BellSouth for $67 billion]
