Saints' Reggie Bush Not Welcome at USC's Rose Bowl Festivities

Saints running back Reggie Bush won the Heisman Trophy at USC just a year ago, but thanks to allegations that he took improper benefits there, he's now persona non grata. Although he'd be able to make the trip with the Saints having a bye before the playoffs, USC officials have told him not to show up at the Rose Bowl. As Fox's Jay Glazer reports:

Glazer points out that O.J. Simpson is welcome at USC and Bush isn't. Which Heisman-winning runner would you rather have associated with your team? Bush's feelings are probably hurt, but he's better off focusing on the playoffs -- that's no doubt what Matt Leinart wishes he were doing.

USC is likely trying to distance itself from Bush after a man named Michael Michaels alleged that he allowed Bush's parents to move into a $757,000, 3,000-square-foot home he owned in Spring Valley, a San Diego suburb. According to Michaels, Bush's parents failed to pay any of the agreed upon $4,500 monthly rent on the property before Michaels evicted the family. Michaels also alleged that he paid for Bush's family to travel to some USC road games during the 2005 season.
