Reggie Bush Suing NCAA for Defamation Over "Pay-for-Play" Accusations

Reggie Bush plans to file a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA stemming from a statement alleging his involvement in a "pay-for-play" arrangement at USC.
The lawsuit comes after Bush forfeited his 2005 Heisman Trophy due to an NCAA investigation finding he received improper benefits while at USC.
Bush denies ever being involved in a "pay-for-play" arrangement and argues the NCAA statement damaged his reputation.
Bush is seeking to have his records reinstated, participation restored, and Heisman Trophy returned.
The lawsuit centers on whether Bush engaged in improper benefits versus direct "pay-for-play" arrangements.
