re: Joe Tess: Heisman Race Much Closer Than Expected

The whole reason stiff arm trophy shut down is because the Heisman trust got really serious about telling their voters not to make their ballots public before the official announcement.

They never cared before hand, but with people projecting it (and getting it right every time) the ceremony was a let down so now if you are a voter and you reveal your vote you are likely getting it taken away.

As such, voters are hush hush.

Can't they just do silent exit polling though? If no media pundit or former winner tells that they revealed their ballot, the trust can't punish anyone.
