Why Reggie Bush and USC will not be penalized

He stands 6 feet 200 pounds, smile as bright as the sun, and holder of over seven national advertising campaigns. He is Reginald Alfred Bush, the 2005 Heisman Trophy winner and star of the New Orleans Saints. The preponderance of talk dealing with Bush is about his football skills and ad campaigns, however occasionally discussions surface about a pending NCAA Investigation on Bush and his alma mater of USC. Yahoo Sports reported that Bush allegedly received over $100,000 in benefits from marketing agents while Bush played at USC and reported suspicions involved a home valued at $757,000 located in Spring Valley, California which Reggie Bush's mother, stepfather lived in during the 2005 season. The home was owned by a man with ties to a recently started sports marketing company. So will anything happen to Bush accolades and to those USC Championships? Absolutely not! Why else have we not heard additional information on the matter since April? The case in the late 1990’s involving Jevon Kearse and Johnny Rutledge is akin to Bush’s situation. Kearse and Rutledge received payments from agents William "Tank" Black and Alfred "Tweet" Twitty while the two players were still playing for the University of Florida. Similar to Florida, USC had no knowledge of the situation and just as Florida was cleared of wrong doings USC will as well because the evidence in the Bush case is much softer than in the Kearse and Rutledge case. The most pertinent dynamic going for the Trojans is the fact that unlike the Florida investigation, the supposed agent had no clients and license. The connotation of this is that performing as an agent without a license is a criminal offense, and this is the reason the man posing as an agent went to yahoo rather than the police or the courts. Had he went to the proper authorities an extortion charge could have been potentially charged. In all essence the alleged agent will not cooperate with the investigation and Bush does not have to cooperate with the investigation now that he is property of the National football League and not the NCAA. In other words all the panicky feelings that Trojans are experiencing can be at an alleviate state now since the NCAA has only hearsay evidence.
