With Auburn Athletic Director Jay Jacobs recently announcing that statues of Pat Sullivan, Bo Jackson and Cam Newton are in production, one must naturally question who truly deserves a statue in their honor.
It is a risky proposition to build a statue honoring a player who may have only played a year for their school, such as Cam Newton.
Not to discredit his phenomenal season or his immense talent, but it seems slightly premature to permanently cement a player into a school's legacy when he is still being investigated by the NCAA regarding his recruitment.
Don't we honor college coaches and players enough?
Whether a human being should have a statue erected in his honor is debatable as perhaps they should be left for military heroes and Greek gods.
Either way, colleges will always put their stars on a pedestal, whether they truly deserve it or not.
Here is a list of the top 10 sports icons who deserve a statue and 10 who don't.
Enjoy.
