I haven’t followed this story closely, but isn’t he magnanimously forfeiting the Heisman just moments before it’s taken away from him?
And when I say, “moments before”, I’m being dramatic.
No decision was made to take the trophy away. However, you’re right there was much talk of doing so. Nevertheless, I think Reggie Bush made the decision that fighting to keep the trophy just wasn’t worth it. Better to give it back and enjoy playing in the NFL. Considering he’s making $$$ millions and has a Super Bowl ring as well the Heisman Trophy is just an over-rated award.
