What Reggie Bush has to say about USC sanctions
LA Times ^ | June 10, 2010

Posted on 06/14/2010 12:59:10 PM PDT by Bad~Rodeo

In the wake of the NCAA's decision to penalize USC, former Trojans running back Reggie Bush, a key figure in the sanctions, released a statement that read predictably formal. Nothing surprising here:

"I have a great love for the University of Southern California and I very much regret the turn that this matter has taken, not only for USC, but for the fans and players. I am disappointed by today's decision and disagree with the NCAA's findings. If the University decides to appeal, I will continue to

It was known from Day One that he was on the take.

True, but the question is who else knew, coaches, AD?

Everyone knew. This poor kid suddenly was driving a brand new Hummer. The family was suddenly swimming in dollars.

Reggie probably had no formal knowledge of what the parents were probably up to.

IMO the NCAA is ridiculous. They believe schools are supposed to KNOW all things their players are up to.
That can not happen without tapping their phones, violating their legal privacy and so forth.

The NCAA also created recent rules to make appealing far tougher than in the past when they have been taken to court and nullified.

Still, IMO USC should go to court and take on the ruling of the NCAA due to the unconstitutional requirements the NCAA puts on schools.

Bush probably knows almost nothing, and I figure it's the parents who were the players who would refuse till hell freezes over to testify.

Once the player is off the field, there is nothing much the schools can really do if parents decide they want to get side deals.
Go after parents, not the schools IMO.

Will they be Fight On or Fight Now and Then in this case?

So let the NCAA go knock on the Bush’s door. If they want to violate their privacy and want to take them to court, fine. I don’t think a college can know everything going on outside of the field.

Was Bush supposed to be ghetto poor or was he from a middle class family?
I don't know if that car was borrowed for the picture, an investment by the parents or what the issue is.

If the NCAA had questions, they and not the school should have Private Investigators go violate various families constitutional right to privacy. I don't think that is something they should expect from a school off the field or out of the class room.

Spring 2005:

Sources say New Era Sports pays Bush almost $13,000 to buy a pristine black-on-black 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS in Los Angeles. Sources say the car is subsequently outfitted with chrome rims and a stereo.

I sent you the Yahoo Investigation link several nights ago. Apparently you chose not to read the report

Not sure, but I do know that Bush and Alex Smith were high school teammates at Helix High in San Diego. So that that FWIW.

There were rumors when he was in high school that his parents were shopping schools for the best deals for them.
Quiet as it's kept, and of course contrary to CIF rules, there is some ugly recruiting going on in SoCal.
