The Heisman Trophy Trust announced Wednesday that the 2005 Heisman will remain vacated following Reggie Bush's decision Tuesday to forfeit the award.

"It was a difficult decision to return the Heisman Trophy and he exhibited great character in acknowledging his mistakes and accepting the consequences," the Heisman Trophy Trust said in a statement.

Joe Robbins/US PresswireReggie Bush's electrifying performances for USC landed him the 2005 Heisman, but he forfeited the award Tuesday.

"As a result of Reggie Bush's decision to forfeit his title as Heisman winner of 2005, the Trustees have determined that there will be no Heisman Trophy winner for the year 2005," the statement read.

1. I agree...you can't just move #2 up...because if Bush hadn't been on the ballot
his votes might not have necessarily gone to Vince Young.

3. Yeah, but like the Oscars, this vote is very subjective...would some who had voted for Leinart then
not now because all of USC is tainted?
