There's some interesting reading at the end of a memo from the president-elect of the University of Southern California, C.L. Max Nikias. The memo was sent today to members of the "USC Trojan family," to announce that Pat Haden will replace Mike Garrett as athletic director.

But the memo also discloses a persona non grata attitude toward the two superstars whose time on campus helped lead to NCAA sanctions, O.J. Mayo and Reggie Bush. In Bush's case, the memo says the school intends to return his Heisman Trophy:

The Trojan family honors and respects the USC sporting careers of those persons whose actions did not compromise their athletic program or the opportunities of future USC student-athletes. Accordingly, I have instructed the senior vice president for administration to remove athletic jerseys and murals displayed in recognition of O.J. Mayo and Reggie Bush by mid-August -- before the incoming class of students moves on campus -- from Heritage Hall, the Galen Center and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The university also will return Mr. Bush's 2005 Heisman Trophy to the Heisman Trophy Trust in August.

The Heisman Trophy that's on display at USC is a copy of Bush's actual Heisman.

Bush is scheduled for an online chat tonight, to promote a football shoe. That suddenly sounds interesting. He may have some words for how USC is treating him. And who would have thought the day would come when USC ships back Reggie's Heisman but keeps the one won by O.J. Simpson on display.
