The disassociation of Reggie Bush to the USC Trojans is expected to come to an end soon after a decade, according a report by Kyle Bonagura of ESPN.
The former second pick in the 2006 NFL draft was disassociated from the university when USC football was hit with major infractions by the NCAA. Due to these events, Bush ended up forfeiting his Heisman Memorial Trophy.
This development is due to a rule the NCAA Committee on Infractions passed in 2017 that limits disassociations to 10 years. No official statement has been released by Bush or the USC as of writing. Bonagura, however, wrote in his report that the Trojans are expected reinstate Bush on Wednesday as soon as the limit ends.
Just last May, Bush told The Athletic that the disassociation is still heartbreaking for him to this day:
“It was a horrible feeling, one of the worst feelings in the world.It felt like I died when I had to hear that there weren't gonna be scholarships for kids because of me or because of something connected to me. I'm still not over that. It's just something you learn to live with,” the retired NFL running back said.
Fortunately, the end seems to be in sight for Bush's personal odyssey with the USC.
Reggie Bush was an absolute beast in his time with the Trojans, rushing for 3,169 yards and scoring 38 touchdowns from 2003 to 2005 before making his leap to the pros. Bush was drafted by the New Orleans Saints where he played for five seasons.
