    Reggie Bush wants his Heisman Trophy back

    Bush, whose disassociation from USC ended last year, now wants back what he believes is rightfully his. His efforts in recent months, however, have gone unanswered. Bush said he and his team have reached out to both the Heisman Trust and the NCAA, but neither party has been receptive to his communications.

    But attitudes toward long-standing NCAA policies that forbade college athletes from profiting in any way during their careers have changed. They changed so much so that states across the United States got involved, eventually forcing the NCAA to change its rules on NIL opportunities.

    Give it back

    He didn't cheat in any way as far as on field performance

    If they can overturn marijuana convictions for places where it's legal now, they can overturn this


    And while they are at it, let Pete Rose in the HOF. Betting on games doesn't change the fact that he was a hall of fame player

    This is a land where they just let Bill Cosby free by overturning his conviction

    Of course. Never made sense to take his and not OJ’s. Better yet give him the money he would having made as one of the top 10 most popular football players in the NCAA or NFL during that time. That would be millions of dollars more than he received UNDER the table. Keep the damn trophy.

    They should give it back. It was dumb to take it away In the first place. It’s even dumber to make programs vacate wins / championships. Doesn’t change the result of what happened on Ike field/ court. Fab 5 should be given a pass as well now
