A PHRASE TOO OFTEN HEARD

A lot of what we learn in the sports business world comes from what we pick up, whether it be via reading, listening or watching from industry sources. But I think some of the most important lessons, ideas, and thoughts come from our own personal experiences. It's just a matter of taking a step back, looking at the situation and analyzing how we can continue to improve.

Changing the Past is a Dangerous Game

University of Texas head football coach Mack Brown wants to see Vince Young receive the Heisman Trophy award for 2005 since the winner of the Heisman that season, Reggie Bush, has been ruled ineligible for the 2005 season after it was determined he received illegal benefits.

I understand Brown wanting to see his former player receive college football's highest individual honor, but if the Heisman Trophy Trust does indeed award the Heisman Trophy for 2005 to runner-up Vince Young in 2010 its going to set a precedent that is going to be very, very controversial.
