    SAN DIEGO — There will be plenty who argue the decision announced Wednesday to return the 2005 Heisman Trophy to San Diego native Reggie Bush simply is an acknowledgment of right versus wrong. Bush lost the trophy in 2010 in the wake of an impermissible benefits scandal that rocked USC, stripping the storied program of the 2004 national title, wins and a boat load of scholarships. In reality, ...

      LOS ANGELES — The rules have changed. The landscape is different. The shunning became silly. Reggie Bush deserves to have his Heisman Trophy back, and it's good that the folks from the Heisman Trust finally came to their senses Wednesday and handed it back over. But can we please slow down with the victory lap? I wrote last summer that Bush deserved to have the trophy returned because, by ...

        LOS ANGELES — Reggie Bush, after years spent fighting to retake his place among college football's most prestigious fraternity, is finally getting his Heisman Trophy back. The Heisman Trust had for years dragged its feet in acknowledging the legendary Trojans running back as its 2005 winner after he forfeited the trophy in 2010 amid major NCAA sanctions against USC that found he had accepted ...

        SEATTLE — On March 28 I stood behind New York Giants coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen, while Michael Penix Jr. put on a show. I watched a different one.

        NCAA athletes are now eligible to play immediately no matter how many times they transfer — as long as they meet academic requirements — after the association fast-tracked legislation to fall in line with a recent court order.

        PHILADELPHIA — NFL teams will select 257 college prospects during the draft, which gets underway on Thursday. Thousands of fans will be in attendance in Detroit. Millions more will watch at home. But 88 years ago, just nine men sat in a single hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton on South Broad Street for the very first NFL draft. The Eagles, coming off a 2-9 season in 1935, had the first pick, but ...

        ANN ARBOR, Mich. — No one expected Michigan to have a starting quarterback coming out of spring practice, but offensive coordinator/quarterback coach Kirk Campbell definitely has a better feel for the position group after the spring game. Davis Warren threw touchdown passes of 42 and 48 yards to help lead the Maize team to a 17-7 victory over the Blue Team on Saturday before an estimated ...
