Why he’s on the bench: Bush isn’t here for losing his Heisman or accepting money and gifts to play at USC. Clearly, he’s not the only one, and in truth, most 18- or 19-year-olds would accept those gifts. He’s here for the statement he made, rather his “non-admission of guilt,” in response to being stripped of his Heisman. Bush said that giving up the trophy was the best way to end the controversy. I don’t really believe that, but OK. Bush went on to say, “Obviously something has to be changed. You’ve got universities making millions of dollars off these kids and they don’t get paid. The majority of college athletes who come in on scholarship come in with nothing. That’s where you have a problem. You’re making all this money off these kids and you’re giving them crumbs.”

Pardon me, Reginald, but didn’t you get a free education? Free food and housing? Free Division I coaching that enabled you to become the second overall pick in the draft? Not to mention all the free…ahem, female fans that love a Division I NFL prospect living the next dorm over. Maybe other athletes feel the same as you, and maybe the percentages of money earned for the school compared to what your education costs are skewed. But I’m a grad student, and when I’m done, I will owe $60,000 in loans and definitely do not have $11.8 million due to me next year or any year. What I’m saying is, there are a lot more people in my boat than in yours, and we’re the ones paying to watch you thus far underwhelm on Sundays. You get no sympathy from me.

Also, Bush always goes three rounds too early in fantasy drafts, as my friend Pat will discover over the next few months.
