Reggie Bush has already returned his Heisman Trophy to the committee. His banners have all been removed from the campus. He's not even allowed to donate to his alma mater. But that didn't satisfy the NCAA. They decided to strip USC of their 2004-2005 National Championship. They took something that an entire team earned, not just Reggie. USC proved that they earned it more than maybe any team before or after them by beating Oklahoma 55-19. On top of that, Reggie didn't score a single point for the Trojans. LenDale White was the number one back running back.
What's the point??? Who is the NCAA really punishing, team that worked hard all season to accomplish their goals or Bush's guilt ridden mind? This isn't the Olympics where we can disqualify the first place winner and have a winner by default. We all know who won that title. This is getting out of hand and becoming the focal point of college athletics. The NCAA should realize that they are at fault because of the business they have created. The steroid era is all but over in the MLB. We have now entered the era of the NCAA's crack down of "ineligible" players. If the NCAA insists on schools and players abiding by their hypocritical rules then I fear a long long battle is in store for us.
