“Reggie Bush is now a two time Heisman winner”- $40M worth Rich Eisen drops blunt take on current face of college football

College football has changed beyond recognition in the last few years and Rich Eisen has seen it all. The sports commentator appeared on the NFL Network during the 2024 NFL Draft. There, he dropped a blunt take.

The panelists were having a conversation on how changing schools is no longer seen as a red flag by the franchises. In fact, it might help players get proficient in different schemes of offense and defense. Eisen interjected and gave his honest opinion on the matter.

"Listen. It's just the day and age. College football's changed. With the 12 teams now in the college football playoffs. Reggie Bush is now a two-time Heisman winner,” Eisen said during the Draft broadcast.

College transfers have become way more common in the NIL cloud. The players now have more say in where they want to play and NIL deals have given them an avenue to earn money while working towards their dream of making it to the NFL.

Caleb Williams, who went first overall in the 2024 Draft, transferred to USC from Oklahoma in 2022 to play his most productive two seasons under Lincoln Riley.

Rich Eisen, who has a $40 million net worth according to Celebrity Net Worth, has been a defender of the NIL-era freedom for the players to change schools.

He said on the ‘Rich Eisen Show in August last year that the players don't want to be employees of the school and want a cut for putting their names on a jersey. Learn to live with it is his message to the critics.

Rich Eisen weighed in on the Reggie Bush Heisman reinstatement

Recently, Rich Eisen weighed in on Reggie Bush getting his Heisman back after 14 years. He said that he was extremely happy that it happened and also revealed that he had no idea that it was coming. The analyst sent his congratulations to the former USC star on the announcement.

“We could not be more happy for Reggie because he deserves to have never lost this in his entire life, in his career,” Eisen said on ‘The Rich Eisen Show’.

Bush had to forfeit his 2005 Heisman Trophy in 2010 after the Trojans were sanctioned for providing 'illegal perks' to the running back. USC also lost the 2004 National Championship title since the BCS removed the games from the record. The Heisman Trust's decision has received widespread approval in the college football world.
