One of the nice things about college athletes is that you don't have to pay them. Heck, it might be the best thing about college athletes.

Tebow Wins Heisman, Loves Jesus
I didn't watch the Heisman Trophy presentation show (what's the point?) but I've been assured that Tim Tebow did in fact win.

Is there any chance Vince Young wins this thing?
I really don't see it. The only outside chance Young has is if somehow, Leinart and Bush split the west coast votes, and that the east coast bias is far more powerful than any of us think. Actually, that wouldn't even work. It would have to be a Texas bias, or just an outright west coast hatred....

As former sports editors of our college papers, we can assure you: There is no more loathsome creature than the college sports information director.
