Former USC tailback Reggie Bush has agreed to participate in a documentary directed by Kirk Fraser, who directed ESPN’s “30 for 30: Without Bias.”
It will be made by Believe Entertainment Group, the studio behind the Oscar-winning “Dear Basketball.”
If Bush is cooperating, that means the documentary will probably be favorable to the former Heisman Trophy winner.
It will be interesting to see how balanced it is and whether it tries to make Bush the victim, as many are doing now.
Will Bush show any remorse for what his actions did to USC?
Will he take any accountability?
Those are the real questions even as his transgressions are being minimized.
Reggie still exists within a complicated legal universe. Every lowlife connected to his downfall has a lawyer who’d love nothing better than to claim his client has been libeled in the upcoming documentary. Don’t expect Reggie to say much beyond, “it was a confusing time —I was just a kid —and I’m happy this is now behind me.”

It would be nice, though, if Reggie could pin the whole thing on Helton and make it stick.

He will claim innocence and that he did not know or had anything to do with it. If he makes the documentry, hopefully it will get Helton fired.

PT — I don’t think Reggie’s legal team will let him say anything that sounds like’s he’s shifting blame to someone else. It’s over. Nothing to be gained….except starting some fresh statutes of limitations running on new libel suits against him. What would be the point?

Maybe he’ll clear the air on why he didn’t take part in the investigation, but people tend to forget the FBI got involved in the extortion plot against Reggie. He was not innocent, but he was hardly the criminal he is painted as.
People also forget his picture was on the front of the college football video game and he was one of the players in it without compensation. Also his teammates were not punished. He was long gone when the harsh penalties were handed down. The NCAA wanted to tarnish USC and nothing he did or didn’t do was going to change that. Do you really think Pete left USC because of a once in a lifetime deal from the Seahawks? Well you’re probably right so have a nice day.

Owns, I am guessing that you think the same about Bill Walton, who understood all that went on with Sam Gilbert:

Too bad Sam Gilbert up and died on the steps to the Grand Jury. I would have loved to hear what he had to say. The perfect exit would be for him would have been that he testified and answered all the questions. then in a couple of days he die. That way he misses out jail. Then Johnny Cheetin’ Wooden would have been called on stage to answer all of his cheetin’.

You clowns act like Reggie Bush is the only football player that was paid for playing at USC.
The #CorruptNCAA and the SEC were looking for any excuse to take down USC during their dynasty run, Reggie was the scapegoat.
With all the evidence against the NCAA about how they blatantly stated they wanted and were determined to punish USC, had C.L. Max Nikias and Pat Haden taken the NCAA to court, USC would have never been sanctioned and the NCAA would have been dismantled.
Instead Nikias and Haden sold out USC and were rewarded by the NCAA, Nikias being appointed as chairman of the College Football Playoff Board of Managers and Pat Haden being placed on the College Football Playoff Selection Committee.
You all should be giving those corrupt assholes C.L. Max Nikias and Pat Haden hell…instead you continue to give them a free pass.
You Fucking Idiot’s! And you wonder why USC is the dumpster fire that it is today.
Damn!

Not true tebowobama, of course thousands of college/University athletes have taken cash under the table, enjoyed no show employment or were sustained via other clever means of available dinero.
However Bush’s level of filthy, me, me, me cupidity cost his University FB program and his teammates a FB Natty. Then he tried to gaslight his fans with fake news denials, only to lose the Lloyd Lake lawsuit.
Why Bush is allowed on the Clown U campus is dumbfounding!

Little buddy, don’t double down on a losing hand. Walton, Wicks, Curtis Rowe, Lucius Allen, they all said the same thing about Gilbert. That he bought them everything from cars to stereos to paying for certain medical procedures for their girlfriends. It drove Dean Smith and Bobby Knight crazy that the NCAA wouldn’t go after St. Johnny Wooden.

Stating the fact that Sam Gilbert never suited up as a UCLA BB team member is hardly looking “the other way.” It’s a fair assumption though, that Walton, when not on a BB court, rarely knew where he was.
It’s also a fair assumption that Clown U’s BB and FB teams have similar sugar daddy’s a la Mr. Gilbert. So quit the weeny sanctimonious act, OK?
