An official with the Heisman Trophy Trust has taken issue with a Yahoo Sports report that former University of Southern California star running back Reggie Bush is expected to be stripped of the Heisman Trophy by the end of the month, according to the “Dan Patrick Show” blog on SI.com.

“Yahoo! Sports claiming Heisman Trust has reached a decision is completely false,” Rob Whalen, executive director of the Heisman Trophy Trust, told Dan Patrick Show Producer Paul Pabst, according to the blog. “The Heisman Trophy Trust has made no decision regarding the Reggie Bush matter.”

The trust then released the following statement: “The status of the USC / Bush matter remains unchanged. Any reports to the contrary are inaccurate.”

The Yahoo Sports report, however, did not say that the trust had reached a decision. It said that two sources close to the trust claimed the trust eventually will rule it agrees with the NCAA’s assessment that  Bush would have been ineligible to play during 2005 – and therefore ineligible for the Heisman Trophy he received for that year.
