Former NFL star Reggie Bush will remain a Heisman hopeful after the NCAA ruled his 2005 trophy will remain vacated due to benefits violations in place during his eligibility at Southern Cal. As Name, Image and Likeness bylaws were approved earlier this month, Bush made a plea to the Heisman Trust to restore the 2005 Heisman Trophy and career records with the Trojans.

The rules that govern fair play are voted on, agreed to and expected to be upheld by all NCAA member schools.'
