A coworker and I were talking about the Heisman trophy today.
We concluded that we think it should only be availiable to Seniors... Reasons:
-Increase in 4 year players. -Means more, as a player, you have a legacy. -Eliminates the possibility of Sophomores getting the trophy (totally against). -Increases graduation rates in all schools in key positions. -Stimulates competition between senior players.

Thoughts.
As long as teh NFL can take 20+ year olds, I don't think it will have the effect that you propose it will. If anything, it will cheapen the award because it eliminates a large percentage of the eligible population.
You arent "giving it away" You are giving it to the best senior in the nation.
Screw the Best player on the best team, which is how it normally goes, or most electriflying, it only stimulates attitudes, and ego's. And why don't more defensive players get recognition. Linebackers with 100+ 125+ tackles a season, are just insane. I remember when I thought my 55 was a crazy high number.
