Should Reggie Bush be stripped of the Heisman?

TheDeuce · 06-11-2010, 11:30 AM

I say take it away because if he was ineligible during the time he played those games, those games didn't count, and he wouldn't have won the Heisman.

I also think this is a great opportunity to set an example for the future.

Every college athelete that's worth a grain of salt receives some sort of compensation at some point and time during their years in college. Whatever money he may or may not have received didn't make him explosive on the football field. He deserves the Heisman for that year and for the record I didn't like him before he became a Saint and I damn sure don't like USC but he deserved the award.

Let him keep it. I'm in favor of a college sports stipend anyway. They should get paid...they are getting paid anyway. Money is funneled through boosters and alumni and every other creative channel that can be found. They should just clear the air, put it on paper, and give the guys (and gals) some pocket change.

I'm glad there was an "I don't care" option.

Since he didn't do anything performance enhancing I say let him keep it. Its not like getting a suit and a house for his family to live in will make him a better athlete.

Lol what are they gonna do... break into his house and steal it from him? He won it, who cares if they don't write his name on a list.

Reggie knowingly broke the rules. Whether or not you agree with the rules is irrelevant. Now, innocent young people have to suffer the consequences of his selfish actions. Reggie should have to give up his trophy and pay USC back for his scholarship. I like Reggie. I'm glad he's a Saint. I'm really tired of their not being any consequences for doing wrong in this country. And we all wonder why things are so screwed up.
