| simple simon | he did, but that part of the NCAA sucks like if a coach makes recruiting violations, then a team is banned from bowls for 2 years the coach can leave and go to a new school, but the kids at the old school that didnt do anything wrong are screwed thats totally messed up | |

| simple simon | i dont see how its possible Bush knew nothing when i was 21 or whatever i knew about what my parents made and he must for sure know the rules and regs of the NCAA having said that, im thinking wth does he care ? he needs to do what he needs to to make this go away and move on that fat new NFL and addidas contract will cure all his problems | |

| wvuauthor | Great article that gives a lot of insight into the situation. It will be interesting to see how it plays out over the next few months... | |

| Lefty Noob | Whether the NCAA rules are fair or not, its becoming increasingly clear that Bush most likely violated them. He's now been tied to a sports agency, and now USC OT Winston Justice is involved too. Check out Yahoo! Sports's Charles Robinson's article: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_yl...=lgns&expire=1 | |

| cjg11582 | Thats kind of what I was implying, are we really that offended if a low-income family has a nice house to live in? What kind of infraction is that? Especially considering Reggie Bush has generated mass publicity and probably millions of dollars for USC. I can understand the argument against paying college athletes though. Some believe it would ruin the sanctity of amuteur athletics, or whatever sanctity is left. Another argument is that once athletes are paid it is only a matter of time before people are advocating higher pay for them, or lobbyist groups asking why athletes competing in non-revenue generating sports are not paid. Then it gets to the point of determining where to draw the line, which can become incredibly distorted. This is a really complicated issue. | |

| wvuauthor | Good point Lefty. I have no clue why the NCAA does not look into something like this. | |

| Lefty Noob | Great argument by Woody Paige on 1st & Ten or whatever that show is (just happened to catch some of it after the draft preview this afternoon). Basically, what he said was, when he went to college and worked as an editor, he was paid a $1500 stipend for his services. In that light, why AREN'T college athletes paid, considering they are also more or less employees of the school? | |

| legend | The most hilarious result of this is people saying that the Downtown Athletic Club will take a long hard look at this and may revoke Reggie's Heisman trophy. O J Simpson can keep his, but Reggie, we want yours back! | |

| wvuauthor | Yes, I definitely care. There is no place in college athletics for this sort of behavior. Just like everyone cared when it happened at OSU with Clarrett. I think that anything like this is sure to get national attention, and deservedly so... | |
