How the sports world at large feels about Reggie Bush getting his award restored.
The six-foot, 203-pound running back played with the Cardinal and Gold from 2003-05, before being selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft by the New Orleans Saints. During an 11-season pro career, he won a Super Bowl and made one All-Pro team. He may not have been the generational talent at the next level many were expecting, but he still enjoyed a solid career.
His peak in football glory, however, came in college. He was penalized for taking the kind of extracurricular gifts many top athletes accepted under the table from boosters, and with the advent of Name, Image and Likeness deals, situations like his penalty are retroactively looking pretty silly. How is the sports world at large reacting to this? Responses are mixed, but generally in support of the moment.The USC people I know had the same initial reaction to the NCAA vacating Reggie Bush's Heisman: laughter bordering on ambivalence.April 24, 2024It's an exciting day for Bush and for USC fans the world over, but it is funny to see how residually miffed people still are about Bush losing out on the honor in the first place.
