Any "good will" that he supposedly earned by turning in the Heisman has gone out the window with his inability to come clean about the situation.

Laughable... what he did goes against human nature. When was the last time anyone willingly gave up something that was rewarded to them when they were guilty of absolutely nothing?

Steve Sarkisian agrees that Bush is an idiot.

Here's what I said on here minutes after the story broke that he was returning his Heisman:

He's only made comments about how upset he is about how he's personally been affected by this (like saying that he's upset he can no longer go back to USC, etc.). This is at least a bit of an admission of guilt and an attempt at contrition.

I was pretty much spot on except for assuming that this was "a bit of an admission of guilt and an attempt at contrition."

the only problem I have with this whole thing....this is a lot like the AAU stand with track and field athletes in the era of Steve Prefontaine...

you want to blame Reggie Bush, when in fact it is the system that is broke........

recruiters, and 'friends of the program', and agents generate the acts which are illegal in the eyes of the NCAA...
but it is the 19, 20, 21 year old athletes that are supposed to accept the blame???

especially when these so-called recruiting violations benefit these high-powered college athletic programs far more than they benefit the athletes.

The NCAA wants to operate as some kind of major sport entity, with merchandising and seat licenses...but when the athletes end up getting a cut...they cut them loose.


Shame on them.
and you all for buying into it.
