Former Hogs would have benefitted from NIL

Arkansas running back Darren McFadden runs a pass in for a touchdown against Mississippi State at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock Saturday, Nov. 17, 2007.

Almost as soon as it was official that college athletes could benefit from their name, image and likeness — forever known as NIL — a campaign began to have the Reggie Bush’s Heisman Trophy reinstated.

Bush won the award for his 2005 season with USC and was later stripped of it for receiving what was then illegal benefits.

The entire season was vacated by the Trojans, so expect someone to start yelling about giving those wins back to USC.
