I'm kind of torn on this issue. On one hand, does taking money/gifts make him less deserving as far as talent? No. Does it make him less deserving from an ethics standpoint? Yes. I personally think there is a whole lot more of this stuff going on at the big colleges, the elite programs- it's just not being caught. You know these colleges know what's going on, and I simply don't believe them when they say they don't. It's really hard for some of these kids to turn this stuff down, especially the ones who grew up with nothing. They just need to keep the bigger picture in mind. There needs to be punishment for the people who are paying out/paying off these kids, and harsher punishment for the colleges that are letting it go on.
Or, they need to change the rules.

Bush getting his HT stripped doesnt punish all people yet himself. USC already gave their reproduction back becuase they dont prefer something to do with Bush or the Bush era anymore. They be attentive to the extensive blunders that have been made and that they could desire to be punished for it. The Juniors and Seniors had the choice to pass out of USC and not could desire to take a seat a 12 months like they generally could under NCAA regulations. the hot recruits knew the sanctions have been coming it replaced right into a 4 12 months analyze inspite of each and every thing. in the event that they didnt be attentive to how did they even score intense adequate on their SAT to get into college?

If he indeed broke the rules they should take it away. Whether one likes it or not the NCAA does not allow compensation for play. He knew the rules. So if he broke them, he did so knowingly and would deserve to be stripped. Not all, but many players do follow the rules...it wouldn't be fair to these guys.
I will offer you my opinion on the rules though. For the athletes, they deserve money...but the college game would go down. Like it or not, money spoils the athletes. The rich schools would dominate making it nearly impossible for the smaller schools to scout. The problems that the professional organizations have would trickle down. I can see it now "strike" in the ncaa football

No, because he won the heisman as a PLAYER, not as a liar. USC should face sanctions for helping him cover it up, but the money and the lies didn't make him, or any other football player who's ever made as similar deal better as an athlete.

Absolutely not. It's a farce that the NCAA has all these rules about receiving cash or endorsements when NCAA football is such a cash cow. Where are the labour activists? The schools are making heaps of money off the sweat and talent of these players and have rules that the players don't receive compensation. What a farce!

I think all collegiate sports are in fact minor pro organizations, so they should recieve some sort of compensation. So no they shouldn't take his heisman away.

Sounds like he turned pro well before graduating.

Yes because he lied about the house deal to protect his scholarship.
