Reggie Bush hints at future documentary to expose what the NCAA 'covered up' in his story
Details are still being ironed out, but a documentary will be released in the not-too-distant future on Reggie Bush and his battle with the NCAA.
Bush spoke about the documentary recently on the “All The Smoke” podcast, stating that it will show how the NCAA treated him and USC unfairly.
“I don’t have a six-part series yet, but it will be around there – four, six, eight – we’ll see. But there’s so much information that’s going to be in this documentary,” Reggie Bush said. “It’s all new information. So it’s nothing that anybody knew or thought they knew about my story.”
Bush played at USC from 2003-05 and had one of the best careers in college football history. However, he lost his Heisman trophy and USC lost its national title thanks to an NCAA scandal. He did eventually get his Heisman trophy back, but his stats are still not counted in NCAA record books. Bush insists the NCAA didn’t share the whole story and instead leaked certain parts of it to the media to make him look bad.
“There’s a lot that was covered up in my story by the NCAA. There was a lot of dirty shit that they did in the media, just releasing little things to damage my character,” Bush said. “One of the biggest ones was basically calling me a cheater when I’ve never cheated a day in my life.”
Reggie Bush, who went on to play for 12 seasons in the NFL, insists that he did nothing wrong and that the NCAA was simply out to get USC.
“I have been saying the same thing from Day 1. From the time I was a rookie in the NFL and they were alleging all of these things against me. We did nothing wrong,” Bush said. “This all came from the NCAA and their attempt to take down USC, everything that we stood for. All the success that we had and we created there with my teammates, coaches. They really didn’t like that we were flashy as a football team. That bothered them.
“It also bothered them that we were successful. And we were also right here in LA at the same time. Our team was big. We were one of the biggest teams in college football history. … It’s unfortunate that this story has kind of overshadowed the success and what we really were about during that time period.”
The documentary should be incredibly entertaining as there are so many layers to the Reggie Bush story. He is looking forward to finally getting his side out in the form of a documentary.
