The fate of Reggie Bush’s Heisman could be known on Friday

Our brethren at CFT have posted an item on the forthcoming fate of the USC football program.

And so we’ll encourage you to check it out, and we’ll raise the one question that has the most NFL relevance depending on the announcement that is expected for Friday.

Will Saints running back Reggie Bush lose his Heisman Trophy if it turns out that he was ineligible for all or part of the 2005 season?

When the allegations first arose that Bush and/or his family received cash and/or prizes from a prospective agent, the powers-that-be with the Downtown Athletic Club made it clear that, if Bush is determined retroactively to have been ineligible, the Heisman Trophy could be at risk.

Of course, that was four years ago.

It has been presumed that the award simply would be packed up and shipped to Titans quarterback Vince Young, who finished second in the voting. Maybe they’d simply conduct the balloting again.

We wonder if anyone will revolt against the process by voting for Brian Cushing.
