Two sources close to the Heisman Trophy organization have said that the trust is completing its investigation and in conjunction with the NCAA's findings on Bush that he accepted improper benefits while at USC, feels that he was ineligible during the 2005 season. These findings have landed the University with a two-year bowl ban, four years probation, and a reduction in scholarships.

USC has already given back their copy of the trophy.

Mind you that right now this is still all hearsay because nothing has actually been announced yet by the trust. ESPN's Chris Folwer has said the report from Yahoo Sports is "completely false" and "premature." Fowler told ESPN's Sportscenter that conversations have been had by the eight-person trust about this possibility, but "they certainly have not made any decision about rescinding it."

Folwer continued, "They haven't made a decision. No announcement is imminent. They have not had any formal meetings about this."

The trust is due for a regularly scheduled meeting in September sometime when this situation could possibly be discussed more if no official statement is given before.

Many rumors are circulating right now as to whether Bush has actually been stripped of the trophy already, whether he definitely will be, or even how they will decide. Let it be known that no official decision has been made yet and the trophy still does belong to Bush as does the designation of him as the winner. Until an official announcement comes from the NCAA or the Heisman Trophy Trust, then Reggie Bush is still the 2005 recipient.
