Column: Reggie Bush’s deserved Heisman Trophy shouldn’t overshadow his troubled Trojans legacy

The rules have changed. The landscape is different. The shunning became silly.

Reggie Bush deserves to have his Heisman Trophy back, and it’s good that the folks from the Heisman Trust finally came to their senses Wednesday and handed it back over.

But can we please slow down with the victory lap?

I wrote last summer that Bush deserved to have the trophy returned because, by today’s college sports salary standards, he never did anything wrong. This was a common-sense transaction, nothing deeper, nothing more.

I never guessed the decision would be met with such unwarranted hubris.
