2B – Daily News – Wednesday, July 21, 2010 USC dumps athletic director, Bush’s Heisman LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California is cleaning house in its tarnished athletic department, throwing out much of what got the school in severe NCAA trouble. Athletic director Mike Garrett and Reggie Bush’s Heisman Tro- phy are the first two items to go. In a letter to school supporters Tuesday, incoming USC president Max Nikias said Garrett will be replaced Aug. 3 by Pat Haden, the former Trojans quarterback who became a successful businessman and a member of USC’s board of trustees. The school also will return its copy of Bush’s trophy to the Heisman Trust, among several measures to disassociate itself from the tainted tailback. The NCAA cited Garrett’s administra- tion for a lack of institutional con- trol while slapping the school with heavy sanctions last month, but Haden believes he can change the culture of a program that has been wildly successful and heavily scru- tinized over the past decade. ‘‘We’re going to do better,’’ said Haden, also the color analyst on NBC’s Notre Dame broadcasts for the past decade. ‘‘We have to do better. We don’t have any choices here. We stub our toe, there’s going to be some problems.’’ USC was hit with four years of probation, a two-year bowl ban and severe football scholarship restrictions after the NCAA found serious rules violations in the ath- letic department, primarily around the football and men’s basketball teams. Most involved illegal bene- fits for Bush and O.J. Mayo, the talented basketball player who spent just one season at USC. Haden said the school’s plan to get rid of nearly all references to Bush and Mayo — right down to scrubbing their images from school murals and removing Bush’s No. 5 jersey in its place of honor in the lobby of Heritage Hall — are all part of the NCAA’s directive to disassociate the school from the athletes. Bush’s Heisman has been on display alongside the trophies won by Garrett, O.J.

Nikias also doesn’t start his new job until Aug. 3, but he’s already at work reform- ing the Trojans’ image. ‘‘The Trojan Family honors and respects the USC sporting careers of those persons whose actions did not compromise their athletic pro- gram or the opportunities of future USC student-athletes,’’ Nikias said.
