of his heisman. I don't necessarily agree, but I did not realize that one of the requirements listed in the Heisman balloting is that the player be an eligible college athlete. At this point, he has been ruled ineligible and so I can see the logic. What I don't agree with is they want to leave the year blank, rather than give the award to the runner up (Vince Young), though I highly doubt he really cares at this point.

Chris Fowler just came out and said that it is not true, and that he just talked to a committee peep and they had no idea where the story came from...should be interesting to see how this plays out..

i can see both sides, one you want and need to make the consequences are hard as possible when it comes to cheating in the NFL or College...but i also think that sanctions should follow the coach.

Bush was the best player on the field, and he got caught. im not sure if i was Vince Young if i would even want the trophy.
