Possible Reggie Bush scandal at USC?

I'm sure this will amount to nothing, but you never know, it could be interesting. Who knew that Yahoo Sports practiced such investigative journalism?

Yahoo! Sports report: Reggie Bush's family home

By Charles Robinson, Yahoo! Sports
April 23, 2006

SPRING VALLEY, Calif. – In this sprawling hilltop community with a breathtaking view of Sweetwater Lake, it was no secret who lived in the 3,000-square-foot house at the corner of Apple Street and Luther Avenue.

That home, residents would tell you, was where Reggie Bush's family lived.

That is, until this weekend, when the family abruptly packed up and vacated the residence – less than 24 hours after Yahoo! Sports approached Bush's mother about information linking the property to Michael Michaels, a man who is alleged to have tried to play a role in steering Bush toward an agent and who also has ties to a sports marketing company.

Days before Bush is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, unanswered questions about the residence and how his mother, stepfather and brother came to live in it within the last year have prompted the University of Southern California to refer the matter to the Pacific-10 Conference for an investigation.

NCAA statutes prohibit student-athletes or their families from receiving extra benefits from professional sports agents, marketing companies or their representatives. A breach of these statutes could result in an athlete being ruled ineligible, and games in which they played could be forfeited.

Damn that USC. Stealing MU's thunder like that.

Unless they mean ineligible for the draft (is that even possible?) it doesn't effect him. I can't imagine USC having to forfeit if they immediately turned it in to the NCAA. Could mean nothing even if it's true.

C'mon Skip, give your team credit where it's due. Boosters paying for thousands of dollars worth of stuff is kU's forte.

Maybe you should give it a try. Then your players wouldn't have to steal. Mizzou Athletic Scandals, the gift that keeps on giving.

pahahah this shit happens all the time. An unnamed friend of mine that plays for Uof (unnamed) magically recieved a brand new truck our senior year in highschool and he didn't front the bill.

I think the proper punishment would be to cancel USC's season
