Reggie Bush Continues To Correctly Unleash Hell On The NCAA And Fight For His Heisman, Plans To Sue Them For Defamation
[Source] - This all has to do with Bush's attempt to have his 2005 Heisman Trophy reinstated. Bush forfeited the trophy in 2010 after a four-year extra-benefits investigation determined that he and family members, while he was a student-athlete, accepted cash, travel expenses and a home in the San Diego area where Bush's parents lived rent-free for more than a year and for which they were provided $10,000 to furnish.
The Heisman Trophy Trust has long maintained that because Bush's 2005 season was vacated by the NCAA, he was not eligible to win. However, if the NCAA were to officially restore his records, it is expected that Bush's trophy would be returned.
"The NCAA's statement is completely false and highly offensive," the McCathern statement said. "The NCAA knew Mr. Bush was never even accused of, involved in, much less sanctioned for any 'pay-for-play arrangement,' which never occurred."
There we go. This is how you think outside the box and continue to fight for the Heisman that you won and deserve to be recognized. I don't care if everything I've read says he has no chance to win this because it's almost impossible to win defamation here, but who cares? This is about everyone remembering Reggie Bush won the Hesiman. I swear it happened, there are pictures and everything:

The whole thing is a big who gives a shit? Oh his parents got gifts, big deal. Little secret: that's been happening in college sports forever. Do yourself a favor and Google Sam Gilbert and UCLA. Literally has been going on forever in college sports. The point is you still have to produce on the field. Reggie Bush was the best player in college football in 2005, that's why he won the Hesiman. That had nothing to do with whatever he or his parents got.
I don't get the whole stripping wins or trophies (outside of 2013 NCAA basketball title being vacated. Not sure why I picked that one specifically). We all saw what happened. We all saw those wins, the awards. What's the point here? Just give Reggie his Heisman back. He won it. Then let him do a new NIL deal because that's the world we live in.
