Each year, the Bradley Department of Athletics presents the annual Bradley Varsity Club Men's and Women's Most Outstanding Athlete Awards. In order to be eligible for the award, active student-athletes must have earned All-Missouri Valley Conference notice during the current athletic year. The list of nominees is announced during the annual Kaboom! Awards ceremony and the votes of head coaches, selected staff members, local sports media and fans are tallied following the final athletic competition of the year.
