Reggie Bush sends award back to Heisman Trust.Honestly, I think he should have been allowed to keep it. Obviously with all of the scandal he had to do the honorable thing and give it back but are you telling me he was the only Heisman winner ever to accept favors? Are you saying that USC was the only school to do this? I hate Reggie Bush and USC, but he was the best player in the country and he wasn't cheating on the field. I'd be shocked if most big time players don't get some sort of treatment that's a violation of some minor NCAA rule (an institution that makes millions off of kids and doesn't pay them. Hockey, baseball, soccer, and any other organization that doesn't deal with the NCAA know how to handle things.). Besides, vacating his name will only add to his fame because he will forever be known as the only player to ever lose it. 50 years from now Sam Bradford will be an obscure name but Reggie will be up there with Archie Griffen. It may be shameful, but his explosive talent is now immortalized.
P.S. I remember one guy screaming at the Texans on the radio for passing up a "guaranteed Hall of Famer" when they took Mario Williams first. I wonder what that guy thought of JaMarcus.
P.P.S. If they offer the trophy to Vince Young he better turn it down. He didn't win it then and he shouldn't be rewarded 5 years later because the other guy slipped up. Keep that National Championship you've got in your closet. It's cooler anyway.
