Fresh Reggie Quotes on Allegations

Asked after practice Wednesday if he were concerned that his silence might result in a presumption of guilt, Bush was resolute.

"Not at all," he said. "People who know me, people who meet me on the street - fans, whatever - it only takes you five seconds to tell what kind of person I am. I've maintained the same position from day one. It's not going to change and I'm not going to get into a shouting match through the media.

"I can't control the media. I can't control what you guys write. If I tried to fight everything that came out about me in the paper, I'd be exhausted."

Now that Reggie's a Saint, I couldn't care less about these allegations. Let USC worry about their record/forfeiting games. Let Reggie run wild in the NFL! He's past this collge BS now.

good comments from Wiley...

Jaguars defensive end Marcellus Wiley is a Columbia graduate and one of the most intelligent players you will encounter in the NFL. Like Horn, he doesn't give a lick whether Bush took money from prospective agent while at

In his blog entry on NBCSports.com, Wiley concedes that while the approximate $160,000 value of the USC scholarship Bush received in exchange for his football services is significant, academic standouts also are awarded similar full-ride scholarships. And the academic stars aren't under the same microscope (or NCAA restrictions) as a Heisman Trophy player.

Wiley suggests that the NCAA should permit colleges and universities to fund trusts for student athletes, a sum of "head start" money that becomes payable only upon their graduation. Maybe this will encourage athletes to turn away the predators -- marketing types and agents -- who prey upon them while they are still enrolled in school.

Sounds like a reasonable idea.
