REGGIE BUSH
DISASTER
Reggie Bush’s 2005 Heisman Trophy was vacated by the Heisman
Trust in 2010, after the NCAA took action against USC for rules violations
that included impermissible benefits given to the star running back. After a
long and confusing process, Bush admitted
in 2012 that he returned his Heisman — but the Heisman Trust did not
reissue the trophy to another player.
When he was playing at USC he was accepting thousands of
dollars from an agent. That’s illegal you cannot do that. Only if you’re a pro.
So he accepted money in college and got payee in college so that made him loose
Heisman.
It is against NCAA rules for college players to accept gifts
from anyone. College players are student athletes, which mean while they are
playing football, they are still preparing themselves for the rest of their
life. Accepting gifts like this could sway a student-athlete to leave school
early.
