Reggie Bush is getting his 2005 Heisman Trophy back and the decision is being celebrated around the country, but Doug isnât onboard. While he understands that the rules and sensibilities surrounding college athletes earning money have changed, they were still around when the Heisman Trust originally rescinded the award and Reggie Bush clearly broke those rules. He shouldnât be rewarded just because of âthe enormous changes in college athletics.â
Doug Gottlieb: âThey didnât have to take away his Heisman Trophy. They did because it brought them attention. And they didnât have to give it back to him because he never admitted to breaking the rules he obviously (broke). If they had some balls, if they actually had standards, they would have taken the thing from OJ Simpson...but by all means, give Reggie back his Heisman and let OJ be buried with his. Weâve reached crazy, dumb-dumb world and I donât think this is something to be celebrated.â
