Yahoo Reports Bush to be Stripped of Heisman
The Heisman Trophy Trust is expected to strip former University of Southern California star running back Reggie Bush of college football’s top honor by the end of September, sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Bush would become the first player in the 75-year history of the award to have the trophy taken away. The NCAA found major violations in the Trojans’ football program in June and levied serious sanctions against the school.

It will be vacant, so no retroactive award for Vince Young.
September 7th, 2010 at 11:21 AM ^
VY already got the trophy he wanted

Slow, inconsistent, and largely symbolic justice has been served.
September 7th, 2010 at 10:38 AM ^
Good...I'm glad.
September 7th, 2010 at 10:39 AM ^
Ah, what the hell......take OJ's away too, while you're at it.
September 7th, 2010 at 10:42 AM ^
Why? He'll just take it back at gunpoint.

Count yourself lucky if you even see him coming...RIP, Ron and Nicole.

will just appeal it. After all, it's obvious that the rest of the world is just jealous.
September 7th, 2010 at 11:48 AM ^
... I don't feel the least bit sorry for him.

Chris Fowler is on ESPN right now saying this report is completely false. He said the Heisman Trust might be talking about what to with the trophy that USC sent back as part of their sanctions, but they aren't stripping Bush of his title or asking for his trophy back.
At least not yet.

beat me to it . Actual reporting from someone that works at ESPN this is strange.
Fowler said he personal called the trust and confirmed.
Thank God there was no " i heard from my sources" BS. Looking at you joe schad and Herbie

You know it's bad when OJ Simpson gets to keep his Heisman but they take yours away.
September 7th, 2010 at 12:09 PM ^
When they catch you red-handed, just deny, deny, deny.

While I understand the OJ jokes, the other Heisman winner that should be dis-en-Heismaned is Garrett. His "leadership" allowed that cesspool to thrive.

Not to sound too anti-USC, but I wish the worst on them in future years. The whole show down there just has always stunk. Pete Caroll takes off JUST before it hits the fan. And then USC hires Lane who is also being investigated by the NCAA at Tennessee for appointing women "tour guides" for the potential recruits. They deserve what they get. GO BLUE!!

I don't feel sorry for him one bit. The kid knew what he was doing was wrong, but he didn't care. That entire USC team should be stripped of its National Championships and wins during that time as well. Who knows how many players on that team were getting some kind of financial assistance, Bush, couldn't have been the only one.

Aren't ya happy you broke up with this clown now? Bush should be ashamed by this the rest of his life.
