After a protracted hiatus from the Coliseum, Trojan legend Reggie Bush stated through his representation that the institution should hang his uniform in the stadium once again.

Bush has long waited for his Heisman trophy—which he was awarded for his on-field accomplishments at USC—to be restored to his custody. This is a tale that has been told in detail several times over the years.

Due to the NCAA’s prior requirements and regulations, the athlete was effectively blackballed; nevertheless, subsequent players who have reported similar infractions have not faced the same penalty.

A fantastic field season in 2005 has attempted to be disregarded by the collegiate athletics regulatory body. Trojans supporters, meanwhile, are still haunted by the combination of their admiration for Bush’s talent and their confusion over his present relationship with them.

Bush and the Trojans defeated Vince Young and the Texas Longhorns to win the national title by rushing for over 1700 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Both teams participated in what is widely regarded as one of the greatest college football games of all time, even though the Trojans lost that particular game.

NIL partnerships allow players in some states and institutions to be compensated through sponsorship deals, which intensifies the issue about restoring Bush.

As USC is now one of those schools, such a debate shouldn’t be a question for anybody anymore.

Bush’s unfair conviction and subsequent expulsion by proxy from the game he gave so much to needs a reversal that’s been long overdue.

Let’s get the man, the fans, and several other parties a break and end this silly feud already.
