USC fans get ready to take down some banners. Pete Carroll you might want to call the Cowboys and see if they are still looking for a coach. I know they just hired Jason Garrett but they haven't given him the head gig yet, just the offense so far. That must be nice having Jerry Jones dangle that over him. It must feel like Jones is saying You may have the job Jason if I can't find anyone better!
According to a Yahoo.com story there are taped conversations that could confirm Bush took cash and gifts while he was playing football for USC.
Its all about the cash and special "rent" his parents were paying and gifts recieved by the Bush family. The money is said to be near $280,000. That is a lot of cheese for a college student. That is pro football if you ask me. If they come out and say he was rollin and Benz around campus too, I wouldn't be surprised. That would just be way to much for me. I went through all this with the Fab Five and Michigan had to take down banners of achievements, remove all records, and remove scholarships. Look what it has done to Michigan basketball since. Although the alternative is Ohio State and all the issues they had with Maurice Clarrett. Maybe since it is football USC can survive this.
Here is the consequences from the NCAA according to Yahoo.com- If the NCAA rules that Bush received extra benefits during his playing career at USC, he could be ruled retroactively ineligible. Since some of the benefits date to the 2004 season, the Trojans' national championship that season could be rescinded. USC could face further NCAA sanctions and Bush's 2005 Heisman Trophy could be in jeopardy. The Heisman ballot indicates that an athlete must meet NCAA eligibility requirements to be considered for college football's most prestigious award.
