The Heisman Committee was meeting this Friday or sometime soon like that. It was inevitable. Bush handled this forfeit pretty well, and I respect him for that.

While he may never live up to the hype that was built around him, at least he contributes. He has a ring, which is a lot more than most top draft picks have to show for their time in the NFL.

the contributions that he makes on the team you can find in 3rd-5th round. for about 875,000 a year, not 8 million

its not his fault that all da media hyped him up so much, but reggie is a good player, i dont think he was ever a real running back to begin with, he scares people when he is in open space because he has evasiness out this world(remember that cardinals playoff game that crap was hilarious when both defenders were like wait...where he go lol) but back to the heisman thing, he probably gave it back because he was like u know what i got something better than a heisman, i have a superbowl ring and they cant take that away from me

Finially. I just wish he gave it up earlier. What was the point of him trying to hold on to it. Everyone knew that they were going to take it away. The Trophy should go to Vince Young.

That's garbage

These people are too scared to do anything

They had nothing concrete on Bush yet they pressed it and Bush finally said it's not worth it and the committee could have done something about it and awarded it elsewhere and they dropped the ball.

Once again a gutless decison for gutless people, hooray for the NCAA too cowardly to do anything right for decades

I'm with Jaysonguy, having that vacated is silly. Give it to the runner-up.

The Trophy should go to Vince Young.Team2Beat

C'mon. You really think Vince Young was 100% legit in college? Most star college football/basketball players are given money under the table (and it's pretty naive if you don't think that). The people involved in the Bush situation were just careless enough to be caught.

I think they should've just let Reggie Bush keep the trophy, but as usual the NCAA is acting like they have certain principles to uphold or something.

No. He didn't win the award. I would hate to see it going to the runner-up (Vince Young) even though Reggie Bush violated rules. If he wanted the Heisman trophy, then he should have been more impressive and actually won it.

Good, Reggie is the true winner and this whole thing is stupid to begin with.

No hand me downs to Vince.
