Reggie Bush Gives Back Heisman Trophy

Former USC star running back Reggie Bush became the first player ever to return the Heisman Trophy this week. By forfeiting the trophy, Bush officially now has lost the coveted trophy and severely tarnished his reputation. He claimed he "wasn't admitting any wrongdoing" by returning the trophy. Apparently by returning the trophy doesn't imply he did something illegal. The Heisman Trust has already said that they will keep the 2005 trophy vacated and not give it to somebody else (Vince Young).

USC will return Reggie Bush's Heisman Trophy

USC announced they will have a new athletic director to replace Mike Garrett. The new director is Pat Haden, who will take over on August 3rd. Pat Haden is a former USC quarterback and color analyst on NBC for Notre Dame football. Mike Garrett wasn't the only thing shown the exit from USC. Reggie Bush's Heisman Trophy will be returned and all displays honoring him on campus will be taken down. Reggie Bush still has his own copy of the trophy, but USC will formally hand theirs to the Heisman Trust. The Heisman Trust is now considering the issues on Reggie Bush and if he should still be considered the recipient of the prestigious award.

USC to Hear NCAA Committees Ruling on Them

On Friday, the NCAA committee will release its findings on the potential violations of the football and basketball programs at the University of Southern California. The NCAA committee is reviewing incidents about O.J. Mayo and Reggie Bush. O.J. Mayo was allegedly given 1,000 dollars from former Head Coach Tim Floyd. Floyd resigned and the Trojans already self sanctioned by banning themselves from this years post season and negating the wins from the 2007-2008 season. The case of Reggie Bush is based around the idea that a sports marketing company allegedly bought the Bush family a home while Bush was playing at USC. If found guilty, Bush may lose his Heisman Trophy.
