The Heisman Trust just stiff-armed the NCAA.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported on Wednesday that the Heisman Trust will return Reggie Bush’s 2005 Heisman Trophy to him and invite him to future Heisman ceremonies.
During his Heisman-winning season, Bush had 200 carries, 1,740 yards and 16 touchdowns while adding 37 receptions for 478 yards and two more touchdowns.
Previously, the Trust had stated it would only give Bush his award back if the NCAA reinstated his college statistics, which were voided after an investigation found Bush received impermissible benefits while at USC.
“The decision comes amid what the Heisman Trust calls ‘enormous changes in the college football landscape,” wrote Thamel.
