HEISMAN VOTING MUST BE REVISED TO STAY RELEVANT...

   

    Let me be crystal clear about one thing. I believe that K. Murry is worthy of the Heisman Trophy. As a  college quarterback, he is a remarkable talent. It is a shame that the voters for the Heisman Trophy could not show the same skill as the winner. The absence of almost twenty voters leaving Tua off the ballot completely tells me that the voting system needs to be revised. Denying those voters from voting in the future seems to be a fair penalty for obvious bias. I'm to saying the bias is in favor of Murray. No, it is more than that. It is clearly an anti-Alabama hatred. This fervor of some writers to hate Alabama is puzzling to me. Why would anyone hate a school for exceptionalism in the sport they cover? None of those none voters might have put Tua over the top, but it is a trend among some to negate a football program at the expense of a fine young man.  As for Tua and his Ohona, they showed love and respect for another player. It is how they are. Shamefully, it is not the same for some voters.

     If the Heisman Trophy is to remain relevant the Downtown Athletic Club needs to have a long hard look to whom they give ballots. Far too many voters have an agenda in the selection process.  Some puff their ego, some look to enhance TV rankings, and others only vote for their regional favorites.
