I'm so happy for this young man. He was electric on the field.

[@JeffGes]

His pro career has been fantastic, too.

[@ElimanGibba]

The guy worked, no drama , nothing but good vibes from him.

[@jyanharris7957]

Give Johnny M some credit he started this by saying he wouldn't attend any more events until Reggie got it back

[@Eyesunmoonstars]

In my opinion, I don’t think that was the catalyst of them returning it. I think it was the fact that Manziel went on such a loud platform known as club Shay Shay exposing the hypocrisy that caught their attention to reinstate this winner his trophy.

[@jyanharris7957]

@@Eyesunmoonstars your opinion can be what you want but Google before responding to me on mine! Never said it was the only reason but definitely it was one of them that organization still has a lot of money on the line from events and functions from rich donors the two most requested people or Johnnie and Reggie! Check the facts one is there the other is not

[@Eyesunmoonstars]

@@jyanharris7957 it’s not a fact that Johnny started this kind sir. Reggie did. My opinion, although unsolicited is based on this fact and that of Johnny backing Reggie up on not attending the ceremonies. Again, to Johnnie’s credit, he went on a high platform and said he wouldn’t attend. That caught ears and the attention of the NCAA because as you insinuated, money was about to walk out the door and they can’t have that, no.

[@malcolmkeith816]

Bruh, people have been saying give Reggie back his trophy for the longest lmao

[@jyanharris7957]

@@malcolmkeith816 exactly and you see nothing ever happened for the longest Bruh!! Until Johnnie said he wouldn't show up so they could raise cash off of him unless it happens and 3months later it did Bruh!! Lol because at the end of the day it's about $

[@frankbombaci4977]

From New Orleans and Saints fan here - Reggie we love you!!! Always a Saint!!! And much much much deeerved. This was a long time coming

[@Sbannmarie]

My mom (who turned 82 this year) said “I remember seeing him at the coliseum!!” 🎉✌️ FIGHT ON Reggie

[@jaredsandoval1941]

Why didnt Nate Burleson do the interview to keep the football theme

[@admobeer9551]

They missed the mark. I wonder if there were any reasons behind not having Nate do it.

[@nitamitch5592]

He had the right attorney.

[@bernardhenderson1146]

Correct.... They didn't want the smoke....

[@dametwalker5977]

Shout out to Johnny M for advocating for Reggie Bush non stop! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@Foreign84]

They literally stripped his existence from the school smh

[@anthonymg73]

Now give USC back their national championship!!!

[@jamienash751]

His attitude is impeccable

[@1224dlc]

What a great young man! He’s a smart young man who loves Tupperware by the way! It’s so great to see the trophy coming back to him. I hope he wins his defamation case.

[@crismarieb6275]

Good for him he deserves all his recognition and trophies. Just hate that his mental health with through so much stay strong 💪 I never understand how these young kids work so hard come from nothing but aren’t compensated for anything I’m glad the laws have changed but it should of happened years ago I can just imagine all the talent that could have been

[@user-xk7cv6by2s]

Reginald Money Bush Jr. (born March 2, 1985) is an American former football running back who was an on-air college football analyst for Fox Sports. He played college football for the USC Trojans, earning consensus All-American honors twice and winning the Heisman Trophy as the most outstanding player in the nation. Bush is widely regarded as one of the greatest college football players of all-time. He was selected by the New Orleans Saints second overall in the 2006 NFL Draft. While with the Saints, Bush was named an All-Pro punt returner in 2008 and won Super Bowl XLIV in 2010 over the Indianapolis Colts. He also played for the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, and San Francisco 49ers before retiring from professional football in 2017. In addition to winning the 2005 Heisman Trophy, Bush also won the 2005 Doak Walker and Walter Camp awards. However, allegations that he received improper benefits were central to an NCAA investigation of the USC football program that led to severe NCAA sanctions against USC, including a two-year postseason ban and the vacating of the 2004 national championship. As a result, Bush voluntarily forfeited his Heisman Trophy. On April 24, 2024, it was announced that Bush would have his Heisman Trophy reinstated because of what the Heisman Trust calls "enormous changes in the college football landscape." Source Wikipedia

[@teekay4389]

Vince Young should also be honored for turning down the award that shows integrity and principles. because he could have easily accepted the award.

[@kennybradshaw522]

Great point, but he did win the national championship🎉

[@ninapage8498]

It costs over $340k to go to USC. That's not nothing.

[@jorgecgonzalez9976]

My cousin graduated from USC Dental School about $750,000,000.00 for becoming a Dentist.

[@D-Nice358]

Salute To Reggie Bush 🏈 🏆 💍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@juliusmoore2176]

Good for Reggie! He earned it on the field and it was a travesty how the NCAA treated him.

[@johnhorse8627]

[@wj1213]

Bush is the greatest college running back in the history of college football💯

[@miamiwax5504]

So if the sports landscape has changed, then put Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose in the Baseball hall of fame especially now that pro sports has embraced gambling

[@yesimemoin0935]

Not the same, not even close

[@DCSk8er529]

​@@yesimemoin0935No, according to Reggie, he never had that kind of money while in college. He didn't have that kind of money until the Saints drafted him. How can he really break the rule when he was broke the whole time in college?

[@ocampbell1954]

Reggie Bush didn't do anything to affect the outcome of the games. This is a bad comparison. 😂

[@DCSk8er529]

@ocampbell1954 Yeah, he did. Not in a cheating way, or rule breaking way, but his ability alone to duck, spin, dodge, jump, and flip into the endzone.

that bowl game is still one of the best college games in NCAA history to this day. He had a great performance that day regardless of losing the game
