Heisman Trophy Winner
I just seen something scroll across the bottom of the screen during the WV/Maryland game to the effect USC could be facing sanctions and Reggie Bush could lose his Heisman?? Anyone else catch that? Nothing on ESPN's website yet. Is this just a continuation of the ongoing investigation or is there new developments?

Yeah, some sort of money scandal. How ironic that the microscope will be on the "U of USC" leading into Saturday's game.

Here is a post by someone on the Wild West Board:

Reggie Bush screwed USC on his way to millions and millions of dollars. How anyone could still like this $##$ing kid is beyond me. I say take the Heisman out of Heritage Hall and ship it to Vince Young and let some walk-on wear #5 next year.

A tainted program...as Paul Harvey would say, "And now you know the rest of the story."

Found an article on Yahoo! Sports going thru the CSTV message forum.

Yahoo! Sports

This could come back to bite PC and USC in the a$$ in a big way. And people though Bomar's "job" was bad.

A brief snippet:

But documents and on-the-record interviews with sources close to the situation reveal that Bush and his family appear to have received financial benefits from Ornstein and a business associate. Those benefits include:

 

$595.20 in round-trip airfare from San Diego to Oakland in November 2005 for Bush's stepfather, LaMar Griffin, his mother, Denise Griffin and younger brother to attend the USC-California game at Berkeley. The fees were charged to the credit card of Jamie Fritz, an employee of Ornstein. The document detailing the charges was provided by Lee Pfeifer, an estranged business associate of Ornstein's.

 

$250.65 for limousine transportation from the Oakland airport to the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco that November weekend for the Bush family, charged to Fritz, according to a document. Ornstein acknowledged both he and Bush's family stayed at the luxury hotel.

 

Additionally, New Jersey memorabilia dealer Bob DeMartino alleges that Ornstein provided:

 

Suits for Bush's stepfather and brother to wear during the Dec. 10, 2005 Heisman ceremony in New York, a makeover for his mother for the event and limousine transportation;

 

Weekly payments of at least $1,500 to the Bush family.

 

Documents and multiple sources also link Bush and his family to receiving benefits from New Era's financial backers, including:

 

$623.63 for a hotel stay by Bush at the Venetian Resort & Casino in Las Vegas from March 11-13, 2005, charged to Michaels, according to a document signed by Bush.

 

$1,574.86 for a stay by Bush at the Manchester Hyatt in San Diego from March 4-6, 2005, paid for by Michaels, according to a hotel document, a hotel employee and a source.

 

Approximately $13,000 to Bush from New Era to purchase and modify a car, three sources said.

 

As reported by Yahoo! Sports in April, $54,000 in rent-free living for a year at Michaels' $757,500 home in Spring Valley, Calif., according to Michaels and San Diego attorney Brian Watkins.

 

Also from previous Yahoo! reports, $28,000 from Michaels to help Bush's family settle pre-existing debt, according to Michaels and Watkins.

 

Thousands of dollars in spending money to both Bush and his family from the prospective agents, according to multiple sources.

The slobbering bafoon AKA Holtz and Mark "the Dumbass" May will do their 3 minute investigation and solve the case. Their conclusion will find that no way Petey Carroll or Reggie Bush could do such a thing! :sarcasm

I find it hilarious the newspapers and sportscasters are saying "may have" or "allegedly. It would seem plausible to me, Bush and his family screwed up and screwed over USC.

 
I was just "email-chatting" with a buddy of mine who said he heard the agents could walk in and out of the locker room at will with no interference from the security guards. Rumor? Don't know. But like he said, how else do you explain one school picking up so many 4 and 5 star recruits on a constant basis.

I think this one is gonna hurt USC pretty bad

 
They'll find some way to weasel their way out of it. How could a program like USC do anything wrong??? :sarcasm

What a bunch of crap!!! Take the Heisman away along with some scholarships for a while.
