USC AD Haden on sanctions, Carroll, Kiffin, Bush's Heisman
​

Dan asked Haden if Reggie Bush should give his Heisman Trophy back. "If I were Reggie Bush with Pat Haden's soul, I would say yes," Haden said. Haden said he doesn't know Bush and doesn't know what he'll eventually do.

"Reggie Bush was a great player, an exciting player," Haden said. "But the NCAA report says that we must disassociate ourselves from Reggie."

C'mon, Pat - Reggie would give it back if he could. But apparently he can't.

New to the board, hello all. GO BUCKS!

Regarding Dillon Baxter: there's already been two "mistakes" pulled by this kid (lying about illegal contacts from other schools immediately after the sanctions came down and now whatever he's done to get suspended) before he's even stepped on the playing field. Character issues, anyone?

FWAA vacates USC 2004 title

The Football Writers Association of America has vacated USC's 2004 national championship and asked the school to return the Grantland Rice Trophy that symbolized that title.

The announcement was made Thursday morning after a resolutions committee voted by confidential ballot. USC will be eligible for the FWAA's preseason poll but cannot win the trophy in 2010. The action was taken after NCAA penalties were handed down in June. Among other violations, the NCAA concluded that former tailback Reggie Bush competing while ineligible

The Grantland Rice Trophy has been awarded continuously to its national champion since 1954 by the FWAA. The BCS is on record as saying it will vacate the USC title if the school's NCAA appeal fails. The Heisman Trophy Trust is still discussing its stance on Bush's 2004 award. Shortly after taking the job, new USC AD Pat Haden ordered the school's copy of Bush's trophy returned to the trust.

The coaches' poll is not ranking USC this season because the school is on NCAA probation. USC remains eligible to be ranked in the Associated Press poll and can finish No. 1. It is No. 14 in the AP preseason poll.

The FWAA took no action to elevate a new champion for 2004. USC and Auburn were notified of Thursday's action by the FWAA. In addition to USC, Auburn and Utah also finished undefeated that season.

The FWAA is one of four major championship selectors recognized by the NCAA. This is the first time the FWAA has taken such action.

Report: Reggie Bush will be stripped of Heisman Trophy


The Heisman Trophy Trust reportedly will strip 2005 winner Reggie Bush of the award by the end of the month and name no winner for that season, according to a Yahoo report.


Bush would be the first athlete in the 75-year history of the award to be stripped of the honor.


Citing two sources close to the Heisman trust, Charles Robinson writes that the group's investigation is nearly closed and it is likely to agree with the NCAA finding that Bush was ineligible during the 2005 season. Sources said Bush met with Heisman representatives last month in New York.


The NCAA ruled in June that Bush, now a running back with the New Orleans Saints, accepted cash, gifts and other benefits in violation of NCAA rules while playing at the University of Southern California. He was ruled retroactively ineligible for part of the 2004 season and all of 2005. USC was ordered to remove references to Bush from its sporting venues and promotional materials and delete his numbers from game stats. In July, the university returned its copy of the Heisman to the trust.


Vince Young, who finished a distant second to Bush in Heisman voting, has said he would not want the trust to give him the award.
