Legendary running back Reggie Bush voluntarily forfeited and returned his prestigious 2005 Heisman Trophy following a landmark multi-year NCAA investigation that concluded he and his family received unpermitted financial benefits and luxury housing assistance from sports agents while he was still an active amateur undergraduate student-athlete at the university. Although the decision caused immense controversy and heartbreak across the collegiate sports world, the Heisman Trust later officially reinstated the trophy years later following sweeping rule changes regarding athlete compensation.
