Too bad for Bush, not a huge fan but this was a late witchhunt by the NCAA

Let him keep his Heisman, I thought he was somewhat over hyped when he received it but I certainly don't think they should take it away.

but deserved nonetheless

This is BS...the Heisman trophy is won on the field...and for one of the few times in the last twenty years, they actually had it right that year.

should they strip O.J. of his heisman/record too ?!

The real issue with Bush and his Heisman as to do with an eligibility clause. Since the NCAA deemed him ineligible to play due to violations, then he's not eligible to run for the Heisman. Once USC was striped of their national championship largely because of Reggie, that pretty much gave the Heisman Commision the green light to take their hardware if they wanted it.

I don't believe O.J. doesn't fits the scenario.
