That’s fine. Gives USC 8 of them, ahead of tOSU, ND, and Oklahoma with 7.
Now it’s time to give the Buckeyes those 2010 wins back.

My thoughts exactly. Wasn't the Reggie Bush Heisman something that they had said they wouldn't consider giving back? I feel this has opened that discussion for the Buckeyes' 2010 season.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Yeah, I just don't see the NCAA be willing to rewrite history and losing the lawsuit (below). Especially since it could result in the NCAA owing Reggie a very large amount of money for "damages", etc. The money Reggie and his family received while at USC wasn't a rumor or an innuendo; it was confirmed by testimony under oath in a civil action.
Bush 'never cheated,' won't drop suit vs. NCAA
Happy to have his Heisman Trophy back, Reggie Bush is still upset at being "labeled a cheater" and plans to continue with his defamation lawsuit vs. the NCAA.
Reggie Bush plans to continue with defamation lawsuit vs. NCAA
Reggie Bush is overjoyed to have his Heisman Trophy once again.Now he wants his reputation back, as well.
The former USC tailback says the return of his Heisman is the biggest step yet in what he sees as his fight against the NCAA to restore his good name and his records from his incredible college football career. Bush pointedly said he "never cheated" during his three seasons with the Trojans.
"There was never a doubt in my mind that it would come," Bush said. "Because I know the truth is on my side."
Bush and his family celebrated the restoration of his Heisman honors Thursday during a news conference atop the venerable Coliseum, where Bush played for the Trojans before his 11-year NFL career. Bush and his three children held up the trophy together while his wife, mother and many other supporters cheered.
Bush praised the Heisman Trust for his reinstatement, but the former tailback and his attorneys made it clear their fight against the NCAA has not ended. Bush indicated he doesn't plan to drop his defamation lawsuit filed last year against the NCAA over the governing body's 2021 characterization of the circumstances that led to Bush's troubles.
"It was more of being labeled a cheater," Bush said. "The trophy ... being taken away from me was painful], but being labeled a cheater was far worse, because I've never cheated, and there's no proof of that, that I've cheated."
Bush won the Heisman in 2005, but he forfeited it in 2010 after USC was hit with massive sanctions partly related to Bush's dealings with two aspiring sports marketers. The Heisman Trust restored the honor and returned the trophy to Bush in Jacksonville, Florida, on Wednesday, citing fundamental changes in the structure of college athletics over the past 14 years.
The NCAA also vacated 14 wins by the Trojans and wiped many of Bush's achievements from the record books in its sanctions. That decision still infuriates Bush, who clearly hopes his lawsuit and public pressure can force the governing body to change its stance.
"This is a clarion call to the NCAA to do the right thing, to get on the right side of history," attorney Ben Crump said.

"You can't get to this, or a national championship, by cheating," Bush said. "I promise you that."
Just sayin': Harbaugh begs to differ on that.

Bush sues USC, Pac-12, NCAA for NIL 'injustice'
Reggie Bush has sued USC, the Pac-12 and the NCAA in a bid to recoup money made on his name, image and likeness during his college career from 2003 to '05.
Reggie Bush sues USC, Pac-12, NCAA for NIL compensation
Former USC running back and 2005 Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush has filed a lawsuit against the university, the Pac-12 and the NCAA, seeking compensation for his name, image and likeness during his time with the program.In the filing, Bush's legal team says that the three organizations earned significant compensation thanks to Bush's "significant popularity" and "prominence" by way of TV contracts, merchandise sales and media rights.
Bush's attorneys also said in a release that even after he left USC to play in the NFL, the three entities continued to benefit financially from his reputation "without any acknowledgment of his contribution."
"This case is not just about seeking justice for Reggie Bush," Evan Selik, one of the attorneys representing Bush, said. "It's about setting a precedent for the fair treatment of all college athletes. Our goal is to rectify this injustice and pave the way for a system where athletes are rightfully recognized, compensated and treated fairly for their contributions."

USC also had to vacate the 2004 national title -- the first time a major college football program was stripped of a national championship. The NCAA also stripped USC of victories in 14 games that Bush played, including that BCS title blowout victory over Oklahoma.

That’s why they “took” the Heisman
Just because they gave it back doesn’t mean he wasn’t paid

I am fine with NIL now. But there was no NIL system then, and it was against the rules, which USC and he knowingly broke.

This.
I am not suing the government because I paid my loan off immediately and now millions are getting entire loans wiped out by the government.
Get over it.
