That dude, was incredible in college.

He was in a class above everyone else, often the winner is indistinguishable

So he cheated then. But now that cheating is ok now, it is retroactively

Reinstate Dave Rose's wins too.

Absolutely. Rose didn't cheat. It was Slick Nick who took the Jetta

His "cheating" wasn't related to his performance

Netflix literally made a documentary on manziel cheating and yet no action taken

He didn’t cheat to win. Regardless of how he got to USC, his play still warranted the Heisman

You think every team was paying players but Bush wasn't using PEDs?

Gustav

What does getting paid have to do with PEDs?

That doesn’t clarify what you implied

carlstud

Apr 24, 9:09am

And what, specifically, do you think I implied?

Gustav

Apr 24, 9:52am

A stranger world view is assuming guys who get paid also use PEDs. Bush got in trouble for accepting gifts from a donor

RealTaysomHill

Apr 24, 9:12am

Where did I say I assumed he was using PEDs because he got paid?

Gustav

Apr 24, 9:56am

He received some benefits he shouldn't have, cheating is wrong word

Entire programs have done worse than him and haven’t been punished

We like to subject history to our current standards these days.

Explain how he cheated and how that merits taking away his Heisman.

stupid. the guy cheated pure and simple

To his credit, he has never admitted to taking anything, in fact, unless it’s recently been dismissed. He was suing the

I love how people always kid themselves that it was only the SEC paying players

Corn Pop

Don't care if he took money, didn't affect his play. Guy was incredible in CFB.

Not like anything he did was performance enhancing, and what he did on the field

Call it whatever you want. Dude should never have had his trophy taken away.

Now put Pete Rose in the Baseball HOF

gambling on your own sports is not legal in any league

Dumb. Rules were in effect at the time and breaking them rendered an unfair

Gustav

Apr 24, 7:22am

So, vacate wins for the team. But Bush deserves the Heisman. Individual award.

Hiccupless

Apr 24, 7:34am

so the guy who actually cheated gets away with it while the rest of the team suffers?

byujag

How did he cheat?

How did breaking the rules give them an advantage?

HRCougar

Obviously nobody would go to USC without getting paid like Bush. Bad location, no history, awful coach, team wasn’t good

Dumb. He knowingly broke the rules that existed at the time.

BlooCoug

The only reason I agree with this is the way NCAA punishes teams is not fair

tamasiaina

Apr 24, 8:07am

Did he ever even publicly apologize to his teammates?

So BYU’s vacated wins due to Nick Emery’s rule breaking will be restored now?

BlooCoug

Only if the Heisman committee runs the NCAA. They don't.

HenderCoug

Apr 24, 5:23pm

As others state, courts have ruled that what Bush did should have been legal

Does this mean that Dave Rose gets his wins back that were vacated due to

The NCAA has nothing to do with the Heisman Trophy decisions
