If Bush is found to have received improper benefits, USC could be forced to forfeit games. The school could face other sanctions if it's proven that coaches knew or should have known about the alleged benefits.

Also, if Bush is found to have broken NCAA rules during his Heisman-winning season, the award could be revoked.
Who bets that NEITHER will happen...:sad:

(The time between the VIP letters getting exposed and then the actual news hitting yesterday for example) At least, that's always been my understanding
