Will Reggie Bush Lose Heisman

It what is surely going to be a huge disappointment if allegations turn out to be true, that Reggie Bush wrongfully took money, and other items while playing for USC in 2004 and 2005.

Now nearly two years after Reggie Bush won the Heisman Trophy, a book detailing improper benefits he allegedly received while playing for the University of Southern California and his relationship with the financiers of a fledgling sports marketing company could further damage his chances of keeping the most prestigious award in college sports.

The book, "Tarnished Heisman" by Don Yaeger and Jim Henry, published by Simon & Schuster, will include transcripts of recorded conversations that contain Bush acknowledging he owed money to the financiers of New Era Sports & Entertainment. Lloyd Lake and Michael Michaels of New Era planned to feature Bush as their marquee client to launch their marketing agency. The business failed after Bush sought representation elsewhere.

Is there a near epidemic of athletes cheating, taking improper gifts and money, and ll manner of scandal, or is it just that with 24/7 news there is just more ability to veiw these stories than in the past?

Not only is Reggie Bush in danger of losing the Heisman, but his former team may have their title in jeopardy. This will obviously continue to be a huge sports story until something is resolved, and we will keep updating as needed.
