Giving Back

Reggie Bush is giving back his Heisman trophy from 2005 because his family accepted money, a violation of NCAA rules, after his alma mater, USC, already gave their copy of the award back. Meanwhile, a[n accused] murderer, OJ Simpson, who won the award back in 1968, did not have to give up his award, nor was he pressured to; however, his award was auctioned off in 1999 to settle part of his debt following a civil suit in the wrongful death of Ron Goldman. Following Simpson's self-inflicted troubles with the law USC has not removed references to Simpson on campus, nor have they given back Simpson's Heisman. There is just something wrong with this picture.
