Reggie Bush and his family received over 100k in illicit aid from Agents

[Mill]

The reporters had access to receipts, credit card statements, hotel bills, and several witness accounts.

Hopefully the NCAA will hit USC with a very big stick. Forfeiture of all games after Bush was ineligible would be a start, and I wouldn't be shocked to see massive scholarship reductions.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens. I wonder how (or if) they will punish USC since it was prospective agents and not boosters or the school itself.

one-peat to no-peat! :laugh:

Beat me to it, I smell a Heisman removal here.. looks like the player who really deserved it for last year will actually get it!

 

[Slew Foot]

RB doesnt really care. He still has his millions of $$. If they wanted to get serious, theyd take away his NFL eligibility.

I'm going on record right now that USC will not lose their AP or BCS/AP championships and Reggie Bush will not have his Heisman trophy taken from him.

First of all, that's not something they can do. And, I'm sure RB does care as does any alumni of a school that made that who they are. Apparently, however, he didn't care enough.

It will be very interesting. But why did Carroll and his staff show such naiveté by allowing agents or people like agents into the locker room or sideline? Who has access should be vetted.

Regardless, if he was ineligible USC should have to forfeit their games.

The problem with being a college football coach is that they are always made out to be responsible for the actions of 50+ 19-23 year olds. It's not Pete Carroll's job to be every players babysitter.

I agree with what you are saying, but I'd have to say that whatever took place didn't happen on the USC practice field or locker room.

I don't even understand why it matters if the kid took money. I know it's against the rules, but why do the rules exist?

I'm going on the record right now that USC will have at least 1 championship yanked. As far as the Heisman, Reggie will keep it.


Someone's going to be right

It's possible nothing will happen, but they could REALLY make an example of him for future violators if they did take away all his rewards.

If they tried to take his Heisman, he would just juke them out of their jocks, then blaze down the sideline and score a touchdown.

If you let me edit my post to say that Reggie will lose his Heisman, you're on.

It sounds like this all went down in the 2005 season. Since USC didn't win back in January, can the NCAA take away the Championship from a previous year?

Oh and successful.. Don't forget that America (read: white people) only goes after the successful black people. They let the ghettos rot..

Can the NCAA take away Ohio State's victory against Michigan in 2004 after it was found that Troy Smith took $500 cash from a booster during the season?

What does his performance on the field, and his resulting Heisman, have to do with receiving illicit aid?
