The Heisman Trophy Trust is expected to strip former USC running back Reggie Bush of his 2005 Heisman Trophy and leave the award vacant, Yahoo Sports reported.
Two sources close to the trust said the organization is completing its investigation and will agree with the NCAA's finding that Bush accepted improper benefits while at USC and was ineligible during the 2005 season, according to the report. The NCAA cited USC for "lack of institutional control" and handed the Trojans four years' probation, a two-year bowl ban and a reduction in football scholarships.
However, ESPN's Chris Fowler told "SportsCenter" that although members of the eight-person trust have had informal conversations among themselves about what to do about Bush's Heisman, "they certainly have not made any decision" about rescinding it.
"They haven't made a decision. No announcement is imminent," Fowler said Tuesday. "They have not had any formal meetings about this."
The trust does have a regularly-scheduled meeting in September, Fowler said.
Bush would become the first player in the 75-year history of the Heisman Trophy to have the award taken away.

Wow. A history-maker if this does go through.
Some of the comments on the link are a scream, too (cause there's nothing quite like reading through comments on an ESPN article
Pure comedy gold)
