National sports columnists have spoken. And they want Reggie Bush to give back his 2005 Heisman Trophy.

Dick Weiss of the New York Daily News feels the "Heisman Trust has no choice but to strip Reggie Bush of award if it hopes to remain prestige", and the New York Times' William C. Rhoden wrote, "If Bush had any sense of honor, he would return the trophy and save the committee the embarrassment of having to ask for it."

Meanwhile, on the West Coast, Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times wonders, "Why not run the most important route of his life -- the high road -- by behaving as sturdily as that trophy, covering it in bubble wrap and sending it back to New York?"
