Newz Forum: FOOTBALL: Reggie Bush denies allegations of wrongdoing

Yahoo! Sports broke the news earlier this week that Reggie Bush and his family took money from marketing agents while he was still playing at the University of Southern California. However this pans out, it is likely to have a major impact on the NCAA and the way athletes are compensated while playing in college.

"I'm not worried about any of these allegations or anything like that, because I know what the truth is, like I said from day one," Bush said after a Saints practice. "Once the smoke clears, everybody's going to see we did nothing wrong."

Yahoo.com reported Thursday that Michael Michaels, a marketing agency investor who wanted to represent the Heisman Trophy winner, and current Bush marketing agent Mike Ornstein supplied Bush and his family with gifts while he was still at USC.

Each hoped to represent Bush once he left school. Bush eventually chose Ornstein, which caused a falling out between Michaels and Bush's family.
