USC to Return Bush's Heisman

It looks like new USC president Max Nikias and new Athletic Director Pat Haden are serious about changing the university's image.

In an effort to distance USC from Reggie Bush, who was a major cause of the NCAA sanctions imposed upon the school, the new administration has decided to return its copy of Bush's Heisman Trophy to the Heisman Trust. According to Haden, this is in compliance with the NCAA's ruling that the school must disassociate itself from the athletes involved in the scandal (mostly Bush and former basketball standout O.J. Mayo). The school will also remove all images of Bush and Mayo from campus and take Bush's No. 5 jersey from its place of honor in Heritage Hall.

Good for you, USC. I still despise your football program, but good for you. Maybe your athletes will finally be held to the same standards as everyone else.

Of course, now that Haden is the A.D. at USC, Notre Dame needs a new color commentator. It does not sit well with me (nor with most ND fans) that a former USC player was commentating for Notre Dame games in the first place, so this is definitely for the best. But who will the new guy be? We shall see.
