Bush announced on September 14, 2010 that he would return his Heisman Trophy because of an issue over improper benefits he received when he was a star running back at the University of Southern California. He said the scandal should not stain "the dignity of this award." It was the first time in the history of the award that a player announced he would relinquish it.

Bush, who now plays for the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints, won the Heisman -- symbolic of the best player in College Football -- for his heroics during the 2005 season.

The Heisman issue arose after the NCAA found major violations in USC's football program and ruled Bush ineligible for the 2005 season for accepting improper benefits.

What does Heisman on dat hoe mean?

Basically, to do a "Heisman on dat hoe" is to push some unattractive or undesirable women, in the case of a hoe, away from you; this term comes from the Heisman football trophy, which displays a football player in an athletic stance extending one arm out with and open hand. So as "dem heizman boiz" say "breath stank, no bank" do the heisman on dat hoe, they are literally pushing her away because she smells and is broke. I suggest finding an image of the Heisman trophy; the thought of this song while looking at it is pretty funny.
