Reggie Bush to have Heisman Trophy returned

Reggie Bush is getting his 2005 Heisman Trophy back, as the Heisman Trust announced Wednesday the formal "reinstatement" of the trophy to Bush amid what it calls "enormous changes in the college football landscape."

The Heisman Trust's decision comes after Bush forfeited his Heisman Trophy in 2010 in the wake of significant NCAA sanctions for USC, which included Bush receiving improper benefits during a Trojans career that spanned from 2003 to 2005.

The decision to reinstate the Heisman Trophy was based on a "deliberative process" by the Heisman Trust to monitor a sea change in college athletics in recent years. The Trust cited "fundamental changes in college athletics" in which rules that have allowed "student athlete compensation" to become "an accepted practice and appears here to stay."

 

 - Changing landscape in football doesn't change that it was illegal back in 2003.

No, he sold it.

Simpson's efforts to resume his old life were undermined by Ron Goldman’s family. They believed Simpson was guilty and pursued their wrongful death lawsuit relentlessly. In a civil trial, a jury found Simpson liable for the murders and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages to the Goldmans and Nicole Brown Simpson’s family.

 

Hundreds of valuable possessions were seized as part of the award, and Simpson was forced to auction his Heisman Trophy, fetching $230,000. He never could pay off the $33.5 million, saying he lived only on his NFL and private pensions.

 Greatest first round number 1 in history that thought and believed the game was the same as it was in college. He was a nothing compared to Pierre Thomas who in my opinion, is the greatest swing pass rusher the Saints had and will always be. Reggie Bush couldn’t block or hit the gap on either side inside the tackles. Decoy. And a bad one at that. My season tickets are behind the goal post, section 601. Best  seats to se what is happening on a vertical scale. He was a fawking coward compared to Pierre Thomas. That 19 yard swing pass he did in Super Bowl 44 was a thing of beauty. Bush=Decoy. 
 

And don’t give me your retarded fantasy football ball stats. He was nothing compared to the greats. Not even in the top one hundred.

And yet, Pete Rose is still left out of the baseball HOF.  Sad.

Not sure, good question...would have been pretty funny if he did try that though.  Sorry guys, I pawned it a week ago, talk to Louie on the 5th and Vine.

They should act like they kicked him out years ago and are letting him back in.
