Usc should get their 2004 national championship reinstated aswell

[@lewisparkes5038]

Kinda feel like manziel deserves a little credit for this too going on Shannon sharpes podcast and talking about it I think he gave major attention to it lately

[@sanspeur9143]

He does! As a USC fan I gained a lot of respect for him!

[@pjmlegrande]

More than a little. His support of Reggie stands out in an environment often driven by hypocritical gossip and innuendo and enthusiastic piling on. So kudos to Johnny Manziel. Integrity is in short supply these days.

[@lewisparkes5038]

@@pjmlegrande yeah I didn’t want too make it sound like it was all him but a little credit is definitely the minimum he deserves

[@lightingbolt8148]

No he doesn’t

[@deontrymcnear5622]

He does!!!!! He deserves some of the credit! He’s the only one that really stood up and said how he felt about it in big way on the platform that’s popular right now!

The NCAA now also needs to apologize to Bush, USC and their Alums....And while they are at it they need to apologize to SMU...

[@houseofob3479]

Meanwhile, the NCAA still sits silent. SMH.

[@houseofob3479]

I cannot wait to see that Nissan TV commercial where they welcome Reggie Bush into the Heisman house. It should be something where all of the Heisman winners welcome him into the house along with other key past winners, such as Johnny Manziel.

[@nariusjohnson1322]

Manziel opens the door and says welcome back.

[@jarvisbrowner487]

I’m happy Bush got his Heisman back… All the ESPN Heisman commercials he missed out on that could’ve been more fun to watch HAD HE BEEN IN THEM… Bush is the only NCAA running back who did a behind the back basketball move while running for a TD

[@houseofob3479]

[@elbob17]

He only has himself to blame for violating rules that were in place at the time. He's no victim.

[@MeesterCHRlS]

@@elbob17 Such a moronic argument. Just as Ryan said. It had nothing to do with his on field play, what the Heisman is rewarded for. Making money off his name and likeness should have never been a problem to begin with.

Highest paid team of all time at that point in time...USC

That and Ohio State vs Miami 2003.

[@rainmaker1169]

That USC was literally the professional team of LA..I don't like the fact that the NFL is now in LA..really took USCs aura away in the city

USC v Notre Dame was good too 2005

We better‼️

[@vman3695]

Any diehard USC fan will tell you that THE national championship game against Texas was the greatest ever. That ending was so good, even we Trojans shrugged our shoulders and thought "dang, did that really happen? That was pretty good." Props to Vince Young.

[@assassssasa]

Can’t wait to see Reggie Bush on a Heisman house commercial

[@houseofob3479]

Me too.

[@BigEazy84]

I agree with Stephen A Smith!!! Not only about Reggie Bush but also about that championship game in 2006 with Texas vs USC

Giving Reggie Bush the Heisman back is like our judicial system releasing a known criminal from prison expecting him/her not to commit another crime

[@BlindOptometrist]

Reinstate the 2010 OSU Buckeye season. 12-1. Big 10 Champs. Sugar Bowl Champs. Pryor did the same thing and Tressel got the boot just like Carrel.

The reason Reggie Bush & USC entire season & all those player along with support staff lost accomplishments perceived endowments of monetary handouts Cam Newton's father hadn't stepped up & been fall guy because a disgruntled coach wife combo accused him of accepting gratuity same thing woulda happened

I want another ceremony for him and put him on them heisman commercials

Finally. Also Ricky Waters needs compensation

[@jascam1]

So let’s get this straight all the bright collegiate minds decided that Reggie should get his trophy back, but they’re undecided about reinstating his stats that got him the trophy in the first place. What morons.

[@JamesTechjackinJackson]

He should’ve never been forced to forfeit the trophy in the first place. I’m happy they made this right. Happy for Reggie!! Long overdue!!!
