It isn't that they took the reward back to punish him, they took all of his wins and stats off the record books to do that. He is required to be an illegible player to win the award. He was ruled to be ineligible after he was caught taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from busters. Since he was no longer an illegible player he was no longer eligible for the award.
No one is getting the award. Despite moon’s statement Young never even ask for it. The trophy will go unrewarded for 2005. Young should have won it outright as he proved on the field but that is a different argument.

also, vince young "jokingly" said he wanted it during an interview on espn. but he didn't say he was joking until after the fact. so, yes he did say he wanted it, and yes he definitely proved he should have been in the running. but the heisman voters didn't make him the winner, it wasn't even close.
