Heisman Trophy to be sold

-

Rashaan Salaam‘ s Heisman Trophy will be sold in an online auction next month with a portion of the proceeds benefiting research into a degenerati­ve brain disease found in nearly 200 football players. SCP Auctions announced bidding will open Jan. 8 and end Jan. 20. The former University of Colorado running back killed himself last December in Boulder after struggling with depression. Investigat­ors have said they will never know if he suffered from CTE because his family didn’t consent to those tests. It’s expected to sell for over $300,000.
