The Heisman Trust unveiled a redesigned website earlier this month at Heisman.com. The site features a few notable changes, including a revamped layout and a list of current Heisman candidates. However, the majority of visitors will probably miss the most notable change to the site.

The Heisman Trust’s longtime Mission Statement begins with the following first line:

The Heisman Memorial Trophy annually recognizes the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence.

Notice anything missing in that? For years, that first line ended with the phrase “with integrity.” At some point during the Heisman’s site redesign -- or, at least, since last year’s Heisman ceremony -- those two very important words were removed.

Ummmm, I think they want to be sure that Mr. Jameis Winston is a bona fide candidate for the Heisman.
 

Looking at the Candidates, how isn't Cobb on there? I know this is a gopher message board but doesn't he deserve to be on their list?

I suppose it was only a matter of time before the Heisman Trophy folks gave up on the integrity angle. When recent winners includes the likes of Cam Newton, Johnny Manziel and Jameis Winston, it's pretty insulting to everyone's intelligence to claim "integrity" as a factor in naming the Heisman winner.
