Reggie Bush, you were very bad. Look what you did! While attending USC you allegedly took some gifts. You should have realized that a college athlete can't do that. You are an amateur and cannot be paid or get any kind of benefits.
The college just wants you to get a good education and while you are there, help win a few games. Why do they want you to do that? Well, they get higher attendance at the games, sell more in the concessions, and of course the TV deals with the networks. Lot's of money for the school there if the team does well. So Reggie, you were supposed to just go to school, maybe work part time at Burger King so you have some spending money and let the school reap the rewards of your skills as a football player. Oh, don't forget licensing for jersey sales and other merchandise with the school logo on it. Kids all over the country that don't even know where USC is could be wearing Trojan jerseys because of Reggie Bush. Ca-ching!
So Reggie, shame on you for even thinking you could benefit for being a great college football player. You have to wait until you are in the pro's before you can cash in. So all you college athletes out there be warned. You can't be paid for playing college sports.
Oh, by the way, here is your scholarship check. Thanks for choosing USC.
