Should Reggie Bush be stripped of his Heisman?

Simple question, self-explanatory poll.

In light of all the junk coming out about USC, Reggie Bush, and his clearly improper dealings as a "student"-athlete, should the Heisman Trust revoke his trophy?

The rule for the Heisman is pretty clear. Athletes must be in compliance with the NCAA when they receive it which he clearly was not. The Heisman should be vacated.

While I recognize that their sins are different and that Reggie's involves violation of specific NCAA rules, something still strikes me as odd about the fact that OJ Simpson would still be considered a Heisman winner, but Reggie Bush would not.

Hmmm, tough question. On the one hand, yeah - he was clearly not in compliance. On the other hand you're then making the assumption that every other Heisman winner is in compliance and got no money under the table or what-not. I'm not close enough to know better, but if Reggie Bush and USC are the only 'dirty' program, I'd be surprised.

Of course he should lose it. The more important question is whether Vince Young should get it.
