ESPN’s Chris Fowler, who has hosted the Heisman Trophy Award show since 1995, states that the reports coming out of Yahoo Sports that NFL star Reggie Bush would be stripped of his Heisman Trophy, are premature.
Yahoo Sports initially reported that the Heisman Trophy Trust is expected to strip former USC running back Reggie Bush of his 2005 Heisman Trophy and leave the award vacant.
Two sources close to the trust said the organization is completing its investigation and will agree with the NCAA’s finding that Bush accepted improper benefits while at USC and was ineligible during the 2005 season, according to the report. The NCAA cited USC for “lack of institutional control” and handed the Trojans four years’ probation, a two-year bowl ban and a reduction in football scholarships.
