The NCAA says Reggie Bush took cash while playing for the Trojans, but that was hardly the only thing that came to light during its investigation of USC:
- In 2001, the Trojans offered high school quarterback Matt Leinart illegal gifts to persuade him to come to USC, which the NCAA finds just plain embarrassing
- University caught giving O.J. Mayo 16 academic scholarships for allegedly scoring 125,000 on the SATs
- Motivated players by hanging bundles of cash from sticks, taping the sticks to their helmets so the cash dangles in front of them
- Hundreds of recruits asked to give verbal commitment to the school while being held by their ankles and dangled from the Capitol Records building
- Trojans celebrated BCS championship by dumping Gatorade bucket filled with Dom Pérignon on coach
- Reggie Bush arrived to the 2005 Heisman Trophy ceremony in gold-plated tank
- Hired professional soldiers of fortune to helicopter into Samoa, abduct several capable defenders, and bring them back to campus
- Review of incident reveals that USC did a pretty good job fucking with Lane Kiffin, so the NCAA will reduce the bowl-eligibility penalty by one year
