From ArashMarkazi: 'Reggie Bush is remembered as one of the greatest college football players, but his name and image have been erased from USC since 2010 ... For the first time since that ruling, Bush is back in college football. Well, sort of.'
“We experienced some of the greatest moments in college football history together,” Leinart said. “We won championships and awards together and did things a lot of guys have never been able to do. Now 13 years later, we’re both married and have kids and it comes full circle where we’re back together every Saturday for college football. We’ve always remained friends and stayed in touch, but it’s great that we’re back together again as teammates.
The NCAA’s sanctions against USC and Bush, punishing him for what he did as a 19- and 20-year-old student-athlete, were viewed by many as just short of the “death penalty,” but the NCAA previously ordered schools to disassociate from former student-athletes for a period of anywhere between one to 10 years.
I was a student at USC when Leinart and Bush were teammates. I’ve had the chance to go back to the school recently when my schedule allows and teach a Tuesday night journalism class. The amount of No. 5 jerseys I still see on campus over a decade later amazes me. Bush would like to see that for himself one day. He said he would love to go back to campus with his wife and show his three kids where their dad went to school.
