The Heisman Trust deferred to the NCAA Friday regarding Reggie Bush's request to reinstate his 2005 Heisman Trophy.
"The Heisman Trophy ballot used by voters has a rule governing eligibility for the award, which was in effect in 2005, which states: 'In order that there will be no misunderstanding regarding the eligibility of a candidate, the recipient of the award must be a bona fide student of an accredited college or university including the United States Academies. The recipient must be in compliance with the bylaws defining an NCAA student athlete,'" the Heisman Trust's statement read.
