Pac-10 may probe Reggie Bush's family home

SPRING VALLEY, Calif. – In this sprawling hilltop community with a breathtaking view of Sweetwater Lake, it was no secret who lived in the 3,000-square-foot house at the corner of Apple Street and Luther Avenue.

That home, residents would tell you, was where Reggie Bush's family lived.

That is, until this weekend, when the family abruptly packed up and vacated the residence – less than 24 hours after Yahoo! Sports approached Bush's mother about information linking the property to Michael Michaels, a man who is alleged to have tried to play a role in steering Bush toward an agent and who also has ties to a sports marketing company.

Days before Bush is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, unanswered questions about the residence and how his mother, stepfather and brother came to live in it within the last year have prompted the University of Southern California to refer the matter to the Pacific-10 Conference for an investigation.

NCAA statutes prohibit student-athletes or their families from receiving extra benefits from professional sports agents, marketing companies or their representatives. A breach of these statutes could result in an athlete being ruled ineligible, and games in which they played could be forfeited

He's going pro anyway so it may only hurt USC if NCAA decides to take away USC titles.

Yeah.. they can still get him THIS year.

But also, it's kinda funny that this comes up RIGHT before the draft like this. Sounds like someone was lookin' for something to nail him to the wall on and they seemed to have found it.

He's not staying in college this coming year (2006-2007) so it won't hurt him at all. He's almost ineligible once he declared for the draft. He's definitely ineligible once he hires an agent. The USC records might be in jeopardy though.

Ok... I see.

Well I guess he'll have to see if there is any effect on draft day then.
