Former USC tailback Reggie Bush refused to participate in ESPN’s 30 for 30 film, “Trojan War,” that airs Tuesday on the cable network.
Bush reportedly was asked by former USC wide receiver and “Trojan War” producer Keyshawn Johnson “40 times” to participate in the film, which chronicles the Pete Carroll era, including the NCAA violations involving Bush.
Surprisingly, former USC assistant Todd McNair did participate, but did not discuss NCAA violations. McNair is currently suing the NCAA and was a key figure in sanctions. He has not coached since 2009.
Carroll is also interviewed and was asked about Bush being on the sidelines during the famous fourth-and-1 play against Texas in the national title game in 2006.
