Reggie Bush's Heisman Trophy Reinstated After Long Battle

The Heisman Trust has reinstated Reggie Bush's 2005 trophy, acknowledging changes in college sports regulations and his ongoing legal fight against the NCAA.

  • Reggie Bush lost his Heisman Trophy in 2010 due to NCAA sanctions but has now had it reinstated amid changes to college athlete compensation rules.
  • Bush's records were vacated by the NCAA following allegations of receiving improper benefits, which led to his forfeiture of the trophy.
  • The NCAA's recent allowance for athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness influenced the Heisman Trust's decision to return the trophy.
  • Bush has filed a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA, challenging accusations of a 'pay-for-play' arrangement and seeking to clear his name.
  • A hearing on the NCAA's motion to dismiss Bush's lawsuit is scheduled for Monday, highlighting ongoing legal battles.
