I like that as well. I wonder if the best thing to do instead of awarding it to another person is to just leave it unawarded. It would be like teams that have to give up wins retroactively due to NCAA punishment. When FSU and Bobby Bowden had to give up a number of wins due to student infractions their past opponents didn't win those games. They kept the losses, and FSU's wins were merely vacated. I believe that's the common practice for all teams that suffer the NCAA's ire...didn't Memphis have to vacate their wins, and not forfeit them? I would treat the Heisman that year the same way.
