Well, the way the media here is playing it out is odd. It's been played more like "If anything did happen, Reggie had no knowledge of his families wrong-doing."
It's an odd stance to take imo, first off, I think I would notice if suddenly my parents entire lifestyle was changing, nicer place to live, new cars etc...
Another thought, if the way this is played out is actually true, then how could Reggie prove he didn't un-knowingly get any benefits through is parents? Meaning, mom hands him a couple hundred while he's home for the holidays?

When A Loss Is Not A Loss
According to an NCAA source, if Reggie Bush is declared ineligible, USC could be forced to ``vacate'' its victories from the 2004 and 2005 seasons instead of forfeit. What's the difference? A vacated result does not count as a loss, it simply gets erased from the record books.
Maybe Pete Carroll can get the NCAA to vacate the result of the UCLA game.

Serenity now
Even though Bush was supposedly given an Impala and spending cash? Hopefully the tapes to indeed surface.

Summertime, and the grading is easy
USC disallows A's and Bs received by athletes and others who took an intermediate Spanish class at Trade Tech last June and July
By Lance Pugmire and Gary Klein, Times Staff Writers
February 2, 2007
The stampede of student athletes up Figueroa Street from USC to Los Angeles Trade Tech College nearly two miles away drew curious attention during summer school registration at the downtown community college last June.
Among those signing up were three 300-pound Trojans linemen, including one with academic troubles at the university. There was also the beefy linebacker son of television's "Incredible Hulk" and a succession of strapping athletes, among them millionaire ex-USC receiver Keary Colbert of the Carolina Panthers.
They all wanted the same class ? a shortcut around the tough advanced foreign language courses required at USC.
Joining them was a USC song girl famous on the Internet in a photo of her appearing to cheer for the wrong side in the 2006 Rose Bowl ? along with members of the USC women's basketball, volleyball and water polo teams. And others from men's basketball, baseball and track.

As I have said, the media out here is pretty homer. Personally, I am interested in the story and also interested in what, if any, action the NCAA will take against USC. As best I can tell that program has rumors circulating around it every year, but nothing ever comes of the rumors. Then again, rumors are just that, rumors.

There's their answer. The football players weren't looking for an easy grade in Spanish, they were just chasing the cheerleader.
