Troy Smith's Heisman Trophy was shipped home because airport security would not allow the Ohio State quarterback to take it on the plane Tuesday.
Smith wore a black leather jacket with the Heisman insignia on back when he arrived at the airport from New York, where he was presented college football's most coveted trophy.

I'm confused - did they just ship it home or were they told when they got to the airport that they couldn't take it on the plane? I woulda shipped it home too - it's too big to carry .. wouldn't be able to get the table thingy down

I love how the news described the trophy as "menacing looking" last night

I believe that the Heisman powers that be also provide a plane ticket for the statue.
