I would be willing to allow voting once the winning fans are waving the wheat or partaking in a similar traditional celebration; this year that " we got this" moment came pretty much simultaneous with the clock hitting 00.

It was pointed out to me today that I forgot to update the "guaranteed rafters" listing in the OP when Jalen Wilson earned that status.
Jalen Wilson, 2023 Big 12 POY and consensus first team All-American
Situtation corrected!
ROCK CHALK, JALEN!

Just a thought...
Thinking about the impact of conference expansion on the "Jerseys in the Rafters" criteria -- having to compete for Big 12 POY against players from another 4 teams (16 versus 12 - not 15 versus 11, because the player is also competing against his own teammates for this award) strengthens the case for having the "Conference Player of the Year" criterion.
