BRIAN WILLIAMS, anchor: Reggie Bush is giving back his Heisman Trophy , college football's top honor. It was awarded to him in '05 when he was at USC . Bush , these days the great New Orleans Saints running back, gave the Heisman back after the NCAA determined he had received improper benefits and should have been ineligible for the '05 season. Rather than be stripped of the Heisman , Bush is giving it back. The first time a Heisman has ever been returned by its recipient.
