We are being sanctimonious about the friggin award, not about the recipient.  If the award criteria were not "the most outstanding player in college football in the United States whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity." and rather were "the best QB or RB from a Power-5 team with fewer than 4 losses" then we'd have no basis for complaining.

Listen, kids make mistakes, an it's not like David Parry didn't make a mistake very similar to Mayfield's. Nobody here is suggesting that he is an evil person.  But pointing out the discrepancy between the prize's stated criteria and the players chosen for it is not sanctimony.

Always wondered by Parry didn't win the Hiesman...

Clearly it's because he waited until he was already in the NFL to get drunk and resist arrest.
