So stupid.


Why? It's their trophy (ETA: Their being The Heisman Trust). They want to award it to someone who will appreciate it, not just hawk it on the open market for money.

ETA: Unless you promise them you won't sell it, they just won't give it to you. Ultimately we the people have given this trophy its prestige. There are plenty of other player of the year awards (I have no idea which of those forbid the recipients from selling them) but if none of them do that may be a solid market for you to tap into.

Exactly. So it should be theirs to do what they want with it. As a CFB fanboy I would never do such a thing, but it should be their choice.

Plus, doesn't the school itself also get a separate Heisman trophy to put on display in perpetuity when one of their players wins the award?
