This has nothing to do with the USC football program. It's not about the program buying players. This was a guy that was trying to secure part of Bush's pro career business by giving him an early advance. Bush violated NCAA regulations, USC didn't. But USC will probably still suffer consequences.
And to be clear, it wasn't that luxurious of a house. Certainly a step up from where they lived, but nothing extravagant. I don't think it's entirely reasonable to expect the football program to keep dibs on where player's parents live, or whether they can afford to live there.
