The former Trojans standout running back files a defamation lawsuit and calls for his Heisman Trophy and collegiate records to be restored.
LOS ANGELES — On a sparkling corner rooftop of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, former USC star Reggie Bush stood at a podium in front of the media on Wednesday morning and pointed down below – down to the Coliseum seats where red-and-gold banners commemorate the numbers of USC’s Heisman Trophy winners.
“Terrible work by the NCAA,” McCathern said. “Were very marginal violations at best. It’s things like, loaning money for Reggie to fix his car. Allowing Reggie to change clothes before a Doak Walker ceremony.” The Southern California News Group sent an inquiry to the NCAA on Wednesday morning asking for comment on Bush’s lawsuit.
Across 25 minutes in Wednesday’s press conference, Bush and his attorneys rebuked and rebutted a host of topics related to the lawsuit: what they called “misconception” that Bush was paid to play football at USC and the NCAA’s refusal to budge on Bush’s decision even under the legalization of name, image and likeness profits for college athletes.
