Cam Newton was the runaway winner of the Heisman this year, even with the pay-for-play scandal surrounding his father. How to you feel about him winning given that Bush has already had to give back his trophy due to eligibility problems??

My father-in-law and wife are huge Auburn fans so by extension I've become an Aubrun fan. Cam Newton is one of the most electric college football players I've watch in quite a while. I don't think we've heard the whole story and I'm sure more will come out but I hope the wrongdoins are isolated to his greedy father and that Cam stays clean.
I think, over the past 30 years, a majority of the Heisman winners are probably guilty of infractions that would have cost them their eligibility, and subsequently the trophy. I think it's just a product of our times that it's just a lot harder to get away with it.
And, for this reason, I just don't give much of a shit about the Heisman.Quote:

Agreed, especially since there are 50 other player postseason awards. If the Heisman was the only awrd given to an individual player then I think it would be a bigger deal.Quote:
