Report: Reggie Bush's Disassociation with USC Being Ended by School

Reggie Bush is expected to once again be associated with the USC Trojans as the university's 10-year disassociation period is nearing an end, according to ESPN's Kyle Bonagura on Tuesday night.

Bonagura further explained:

The NCAA sanctioned USC for a lack of institutional control June 10, 2010, after finding Bush had received improper benefits. It was reported in October 2007 that Bush and his family were given up to $280,000 in benefits from sports marketer Lloyd Lake while the now-35-year-old starred at running back for the Trojans from 2003-05.

In September 2010, Bush voluntarily forfeited his 2005 Heisman Trophy as a result.

Bush opened up to The Athletic's BruceFeldman last month about the sanctions, calling it "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," he said. "I'm still not over that. It's just something you learn to live with."

Bush returned to USC's Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the first time last September while working as a Fox broadcaster:

Bush was selected second overall by the New Orleans Saints in the 2006 NFL draft. He won Super BowlXLIVwith the Saints in February 2010. The California native played for New Orleans from 2006-10 before moving on to the Miami Dolphins (2011-12), Detroit Lions (2013-14), San Francisco 49ers (2015) and Buffalo Bills (2016).

Overall, Bush tallied 5,490 yards-including two 1,000-yard campaigns-and 36 touchdowns on 1,286 carries before announcing his retirement in December 2017.
