USC returning Bush's Heisman

[Slow04Cobra]

First, a new AD and now this. What say you Trojan fans?

USC plans to return Reggie Bush's Heisman Trophy - The Huddle: Football News from the NFL - USATODAY.com

i thought usc was the reason bush discredited usc's program. aren't they the ones who gave him the payoffs and whatnot?

It's funny how all of these college athletes take money and payoffs from agents and boosters from a school, and the kid never gets in trouble. The NCAA will sanction the school but ultimately it was the student that made the decsion to take cash, cars and other things.i

Big deal we got plenty of those. Bush is a little greedy prick, hope they disfigure his trophy too on tv that would be cool.

No, a promoter allowed his parents to live rent free in a house while he was in college.

USC's only mistake with Bush, was not knowing what was going on and not putting a stop to it.

No their mistake was they KNEW what was going on and allowed it to happen. Then when the NCAA got wind of it they denied everything and tried to cover it up. The University was just as guilty as anyone in this situation. I'm glad the NCAA fried them and it sounds like USC ratted out a bunch of other schools allowing the same thing. USCe, UNC, and Bama are on the chopping block now.

Bama are on the chopping block now.

Don't you wish:sleeping:

 

[Sinister04L]

Good, now they can give it to Vince Young who deserved it in the first place.

 

[NEOH1]

Good point, but doubt it will happen.

 

[BlownAway05]

Maybe these University's should be a little more critical of these kid's character when deciding who to give scholarships and allowing them to play sports and represent the University :shrug:

Not only is USC returning the trophy, but it's also hitting the delete key on all things Bush. Any images and mementos of the disgraced running back will be removed from the school's athletic facilities. He's getting stiff-armed by his own program.

Reggie Bush doesn't deserve the Heisman Trophy he won for his play at the University of Southern California - ESPN

I would bet that more and more allegations come out of USC in the next few years....Pete Carroll's program may not have been so squeaky clean, after all....

That's why that asshole hightailed it out of there to Seattle.

Man that's a big slap in Bush's face by returning the Heisman. That's really not cool considering that earned it without question.

That's really not cool considering that earned it without question.

He most centainly did not.

Take a look at NCAA bylaw 12.3.1.2

Thats pretty Hipocritical. These schools make all this money off TV contracts and what not and then the athlete,who generates the intrest in the sports that make the money, gets hammered when they accept gifts and money.

I think Bush did earn the Heisman. Parents living rent free didn't have anything to do with his performance on the field. Its not like he took HGH or something.

How is it hypocritical? He was give a full ride scholarship and a free education at a very good school. Bush gets away free & clear and is a millionaire in the NFL, while USC gets the screws put to it.

According to the governing rules (essentially a contract to play) that Bush knowingly agreed to when he decided to play college football, he was not eligible. Bush took money/gifts too, not just his parents. He cheated, and should be stripped from the record books.

Bush needs to be a man and admit fault. Sadly, he doesn't appear to have much integrity, so that may never happen.
