Reggie Bush will file a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA for 'maliciously attacking his character through a completely false and highly offensive statement' in July 2021, according to the law firm representing him.
Bush will speak at a news conference at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Wednesday morning.
This all has to do with Bush's attempt to have his 2005 Heisman Trophy reinstated. Bush forfeited the trophy in 2010 after a four-year extra-benefits investigation determined that he and family members, while he was a student-athlete, accepted cash, travel expenses and a home in the San Diego area where Bush's parents lived rent-free for more than a year and for which they were provided $10,000 to furnish.
The Heisman Trophy Trust has long maintained that because Bush's 2005 season was vacated by the NCAA, he was not eligible to win. However, if the NCAA were to officially restore his records, it is expected that Bush's trophy would be returned. "The NCAA's statement is completely false and highly offensive," the McCathern statement said."The NCAA knew Mr. Bush was never even accused of, involved in, much less sanctioned for any 'pay-for-play arrangement,' which never occurred." Bush's required 10-year disassociation from USC ended in 2020.
