Now look, I understand that Bush is certainly not the first guy to take things that were against the rules, and he won't be the last by a long shot. I get that. I also understand that if we're really interested in being accurate, we could if we wanted to, take back a whole lot more Heisman Trophy's that were given to guys that took money and gifts over the decades of college football. That's another argument for another time.
The fact of the matter is, Bush and USC got caught. They got caught for one reason only, and that's arrogance. They really didn't believe all of the money and gifts would come back to haunt them. They really thought nobody would rat them out. Nobody would cry foul. Nobody would care. Well guess what? When certain people like Lloyd Lake get ripped off, they tend to seek vengeance their own way, and they also tend to tape record incriminating phone conversations, as well as hang onto paper trail evidence. If people like Lake are going to go down, they'll take everyone with them.
Had Bush and his shady family had simply paid off their debt to Lloyd, we wouldn't have found out about any of this.
