Heisman Trophy Trust Says Reggie Bush Is Eligible To Get Back His Heisman Trophy

Due to the recent Supreme Court decision and guidelines issued by the NCAA on name, image and likeness, college athletes are now able to profit financially. This newfound opportunity is also opening the door to previous punishments issued to college athletes who earned compensation for their playing abilities, such as Reggie Bush.

Bush won the Heisman in 2005 but is not considered on paper to be an actual recipient of the award due to financial compensation he took while at the University of Southern California. The Heisman Trophy Trust, however, stated that they are open to welcoming Bush back into the record books based on these new guidelines.

“Should the NCAA reinstate Bush’s 2005 status, the Heisman Trust looks forward to welcoming him back to the Heisman family,” the Trust released in a statement.

The largest issue precluding Bush from being revalidated as a Heisman winner is that if the NCAA chooses to reinstate Bush’s records, it would require an admittance of wrongdoing on the part of the association.

It is unlikely that Bush will get his Heisman back, or that USC will have its records reinstated. Nevertheless, it is a worthy fight and would be the right thing for the NCAA to do.
