| Re: Say good bye to your Heisman Mr. Bush Actually I guess now that I think about it there could be some tax repercussions. Free gifts and all being untaxed = tax evasion. I guess that is one thing that could happen. |

| Re: Say good bye to your Heisman Mr. Bush maybe he accepted a donation, who cares, if this happens in any other sport in any other league then nobody cares. his parents needed money... that doesn't mean he's a worse humam being or he is a worse professional athlete

Medical students all over the country aren't getting money from the advances they're making in that field, so why should athletes?

| Re: Say good bye to your Heisman Mr. Bush Right. On the flip side of that, as a kid not even out of college, it would most definitely be hard to say "no" to that kind of cash staring you in the face.

| Re: Say good bye to your Heisman Mr. Bush Here is the difference. Normal college students can go out and get a part time job. I worked 30-40 hours a week in college being a bartender. Do you think Reggie Bushg could do this? No. Playing major college football is a full time job. What do these guys do for spending money? |

Would you trade your life to have his (at that time) for the difference of..............spending money. It's difficult to feel sorry for someone in his position. We need to stop making excuses for this type of stupid crap for superstars in all fields, or change the rules. Until then, the rules are the rules.

| Re: Say good bye to your Heisman Mr. Bush I don't care what he did. That 88 yard play is easily the play of the year and the somersault was the cherry on top! He totally embarrassed Urlacher and I have a feeling it won't be the last time. |

| Re: Say good bye to your Heisman Mr. Bush stuff like this just reinforced to me how screwed up the NCAA is. i just read an article that the NCAA isn't going to bother some of the southern schools that still display the confederate flag. they are more worried about Reggie bush getting some money, last year? these athletes bring in sooo much money to their schools, there ought to be some type of athletic allowance. because of what was previously stated, big time athletics is a full time job

| Re: Say good bye to your Heisman Mr. Bush whats $200.000 compared to the amount of money that U.S.C's football program brings to that school? peanuts. they probably fund their entire athletic budget from the football teams' revenue

| Re: Say good bye to your Heisman Mr. Bush The NCAA may need to change the rules for some scratch to the players. At this time, it does not allow for such things (that I am aware). At some time, RB signed (and agreed) to a contract to abide by the rules set down by the NCAA. If the allegations are true, he violated them. The rule are the rules. Can't abide by them, don't sign the deal. They may change, but until they do, the rules............

| Re: Say good bye to your Heisman Mr. Bush I think each player should get a small amount of spending money, and that if the opportunity presents itself, college players can take endorsement deals.
