In recognition of the community service efforts by Big 12 student-athletes, the Conference announces its' inaugural Winter Sports Good Works Team. Each member institution selected a student-athlete for recognition based upon significant community service, good academic standing and participation in a Big 12 sponsored sport. Beginning this athletic year, the Big 12 announced a 12-person Good Works Team for the fall (football, cross country, volleyball, soccer) and winter (men's basketball, women's basketball, swimming and diving, gymnastics, wrestling); and will release a squad for spring sports in April (golf, tennis, track & field, softball, baseball).

Of the 12, 7 are women's basketball players. Way to go ladies!
Interesting 9 of the 12 are female and there's only 1 male basketball player.
Are the men's coaches not getting the men involved in the community enough?

I don't know... it seems like community service is much more heavily emphasized to the women's teams than the men's. Of course, this is probably just my availability heuristic put to work.

Congratulations to all the winners, but especially to the women's basketball players.
