The NCAA declared Bush was ineligible beginning at least by December 2004, a ruling that could open discussion of the revocation of the New Orleans Saints star's Heisman. Members of the Heisman Trust have said they might review Bush's award if he were ruled ineligible by the NCAA.

Bush has acknowledged no wrongdoing and vowed to help USC fight the sanctions, although his apparent reluctance to speak to NCAA investigators was a factor in the length of the investigation.

Many former Trojans have criticized the penalties, among them tailback LenDale White.

"I don't think that 100 kids on the football team should be punished for what somebody else's actions were,'' White, the former Tennessee Titans running back recently released by Carroll's Seattle Seahawks, told a Nashville radio station this week. "I think if they deem (Bush) ineligible ... that should just be what it is. Let him forfeit his stuff.''

The NCAA also banned USC from playing a 13th game this season and next season, but later delayed the penalty to avoid forcing Hawaii to cancel its home opener against the Trojans on Sept. 2 at Aloha Stadium. (from AP article)
