USC Returns 2005 Heisman Trophy

Since winning the Lombardi in February, Reggie Bush has gradually been losing other prestigious trophies; first Kim Kardashian, and now the Heisman he earned while at USC.

From Rivals.com:
The University of Southern California will return the Heisman Trophy won by former star tailback Reggie Bush in 2005, incoming university president C.L. Max Nikias announced Tuesday.

Nikias delivered the news in a memorandum, adding that he has instructed the athletic department to remove murals of Bush and former basketball star O.J. Mayo from university grounds. Improper benefits taken by Bush and Mayo during their time at USC prompted wide-ranging NCAA sanctions leveled against the school last month

The university will also be removing Mayo and Bush's jerseys, pictures, and various paraphenalia from various school facilities, including the L.A. Memorial Coliseum.
