It's hard to generate any sympathy for Bush. Ever since the allegations broke, he's stonewalled and offered little relief to USC or the NCAA regarding his situation.
His refusal to settle lawsuits quickly led to NCAA sanctions that are currently punishing this year's USC football team. And he did not seem too concerned while dating Kim Kardashian, etc.
Only when the NCAA sanctions were announced and it became obvious that Bush would lose his Heisman did he show any remorse or contrition. So today's decision rings hollow for me. He gave back his Heisman before it got taken away.

I disagree with Scott Wolf on many many things.
However, he dead on with this. For those who think it's poor form to call out or criticize a fellow Trojan, ask yourself this...
Just what did Reggie do in all of this to support his alma mater?
No one player or person is bigger than the program that many of us care so much about. But one players actions, or lack of action, will have probably set this program back for a good 4-5 years once it finally all shakes out.
