Former Southern California running back Reggie Bush, who the NCAA's investigation at USC into possible violations focused on, released a statement Thursday in response to reports of a two-year postseason ban and scholarship reductions for the Trojans, which were just confirmed as the NCAA made its report public.

PUNISHMENT: USC gets two-year postseason ban as just part of punishment

"I have a great love for the University of Southern California and I very much regret the turn that this matter has taken, not only for USC, but for the fans and players. I am disappointed by today's decision and disagree with the NCAA's findings. If the University decides to appeal, I will continue to cooperate with the NCAA and USC, as I did during the investigation. In the meantime, I will continue to focus on making a positive impact for the University and for the community where I live."

It's odd that Bush would say he'll 'continue' to cooperate with the NCAA and USC, especially after he settled two civil suits with people who were reported to have evidence that he was given improper benefits while playing at Southern California. Settling the cases prevented Bush from having to give a deposition in the lawsuit filed by sports marketing agent Lloyd Lake, who alleged that he gave more than $300,000 in cash and gifts to Bush and his family during the running back's college career.

Also after the NCAA's ruling is the question of whether or not Bush will be able to keep the Heisman Trophy he won in 2005 as a junior with the Trojans.

to add, USC will also lose 30 scholarships and could lose their National Title.

I'm perhaps the biggest SC homer on here and I think he is lying however if you go by previous cases the punishment SC received in no way fits the crime and I cant see any way the two year ban is upheld.....

Where there is smoke there definitely is fire,.

And if you spend 5 years investigating you are bound to find something....face it bro do you honestly believe that the top schools in the nation don't turn and look away when this stuff happens.....just look at the University of Florida's arrest record under Urban Meyer.....

I dont eve really follow college football and I think its messed up that kiffen will get screwed outta this

Kiffin was part of the staff that set back and let all of this poo happen, so I don't feel bad for him in the least.

What this really does is hurt the kids. Make the coaches/university pay a huge fine, strip them of wins and/or their National Championship, take the Heisman away from Bush. The kids that are currently in the USC football program don't deserve this though.

I think the pressure to win makes some people turn the other way. Even when you are watching it is hard to stop unscrupulous agents or boosters from cutting deals with impressionble kids who are lured with all the money.

Still there are lots of programs where I don't think this thing happens. Or at least not to this extent. The lying and coverup attempts are where I have the problem. People make mistakes and poor decisions, but when they go to great lengths to cover things up, they lose all respect in my book/

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
