Never 'Trust' Indian Givers

Reggie Bush's name has basically been all but inihalated from the record books at the University of Southern California. It's almost like he never existed there. I wonder if his academic has one big black bar across it that just says "VOID". To be honest, Reggie might as well rep his high school instead of USC when he announces himself for his NFL games. It's not like USC claims him anymore anyway.

Bush has been embattled with the university for years in the whole "did he or didn't he" with whether Bush cheated his way through his years at USC financially receiving lavish gifts from a prospective agent who would soon become his actual one when he declared for the NFL draft. It's no secret Bush reaped the underground benefits of being a star football player in one of the most storied programs in all of college sports. However, here we are in 2010. Should Bush be punished and have his beloved Heisman Trophy taken away five years after the fact?

The Heisman Trophy trust says yes, that Bush should and will be stripped of his achievement leaving the award vacant. Bush didn't give the trust enough time to even render a decision. He decided Tuesday to revoke his Heisman as a means to hopefully put this situation behind him.

Runner up Vince Young could potentially be awarded the trophy in his place, but would he really want now after so many years? And after he didn't really win it? That's like sleeping with your best friend's ex. I certainly don't need anyone's leftovers.

I think Bush should've fought it out to the end to keep his Heisman. The trust thinks their infinite power should just be able to give and take away at will, from a kid who fought his heart out to earn that trophy. No amount of money could have changed his talent level in the game of football. After all, he earned it on the field, not at the bank.
