Reggie Bush and Heisman Trophy Saga

In an NCAA investigation in 2010, USC Trojans were charged with some sanctions that ripped the team off their achievements. One of the factors for the charges was Bush getting benefits which were not allowed. The college football Hall of Famer returned his Heisman Trophy at his own will in 2010. 

Heisman Trust has decided to reinstate Reggie Bush as the 2005 Heisman Trophy winner. The Trojans will receive a replica of the trophy. Bush did not only get the trophy back but will also be invited to future Heisman award ceremonies. He was given the award back on Wednesday in the presence of 15 former Heisman winners.

Bush said in an interview with ESPN that he is thrilled and honored to reunite with his fellow Heisman Trophy winners. He added that he looks forward to working together with the organization and helping them in reaching their goals. This is being considered as an enormous change in the College football landscape.
