The Consensus 1998 College Basketball All-American team, as determined by aggregating the results of four major All-American teams.NCAA Record Book - Award Winners p.137 To earn "consensus" status, a player must win honors from a majority of the following teams: the Associated Press, the USBWA, The Sporting News and the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
In 1998, the Sporting News was added as a contributing source to the consensus teams, belatedly replacing the UPI All-American team, which ceased to exist after 1996.
