USC has cut all ties with former Heisman winner Reggie Bush. The move comes after the NCAA heavily sanctioned the school for Bush's reported dealings with prospective agents. USC president-elect Max Nikias has announced that the school will return its copy of Bush's award to the Heisman Trophy Trust and remove "all jerseys and murals" that recognize the running back's college career by mid-August. "This thing, regarding USC and the NCAA, is the closest thing to death without dying because I have such a great love and respect for the university," Bush said. "This has been one the toughest things I've had to deal with in my life."
