STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. In 2005, USC's Reggie Bush received the Heisman Trophy, the award for best college football player. Then an investigation found Bush had received several thousand dollars and a car. He forfeited his trophy because the payments were against NCAA rules then.
