”It doesn’t matter if he gives it back. Everyone still knows Reggie Bush was the best player that year. Look at the runs. He was clearly the best player. O.J. Simpson got accused of a murder and they didn’t take his back. That was a far greater allegation, and they didn’t find O.J. guilty on that.” — Johnny Rodgers, 1972 Heisman winner from Nebraska

”I don’t think he should’ve gave his Heisman away. They should’ve stripped it away because he worked hard for that. I think it’s a shame that it’s come to this for Reggie. Unfortunately they found out a lot of this information after the fact, after he had so much success on the field, and you’re looking at five years later he’s giving the trophy back. My only concern now is what happens if they find out that in the 1950s a booster bought a player a cup of coffee?” — Eddie George, 1995 Heisman winner from Ohio State
