LOS ANGELES -- I always enjoy a good laugh whenever people act as if athletes receiving improper benefits are isolated incidents in college football.
Do you think that former USC standout Reggie Bush was the only high-profile player to take advantage of (wink-wink) gifts during the 2005 college football season? If so, I have a bridge in New York for sale that may interest you.
Don't get me wrong. Bush has only himself to blame for how his once glorified college career has turned into a mess. That's why no one really felt sorry for Bush when he forfeited his Heisman Trophy on Tuesday.
But has college football learned anything? I don't think so.
Based on the numerous allegations of illegal contact between agents and college players reported in the news over the past couple of months, things haven't changed much over the four years it took the NCAA to decide that Bush was "ineligible" for the 2005 season.
