National sports columnists (et al.?) want Reggie Bush to return Heisman; Yahoo's video preview of Michigan-Notre Dame and more

FILE - In this Dec. 10, 2005, file photo, Southern California tailback back Reggie Bush pauses while giving his acceptance speech as the winner of the Heisman Trophy award in New York. Yahoo! sports is reporting that 2005 Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush is expected to be stripped of the award by the end of the month. The former Southern Cal running back would become the first player in the 75-year history of the award to have the Heisman Trophy taken away. The report also says the award would be left vacant for '05. (AP Photo/Julie Jacobson, File)
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?"

whether or not he could play well isn't the issue with Bush. He was ineligible, plain and simple. There's not much else to it.

I'm not with the Heisman police so I can't really comment on Reggie other than to say, wow that kid could play football. I'm sure our resident chronic complainers will contribute.
