USC wants you guys out of their sight.  Go away and don’t come back.  Ever.

In an open letter to “Members of the USC Trojan Family”, incoming USC President C.L. Max Nikias announced a new athletic director (Pat Haden) and exiled two of the university’s most successful athletes. 

The Trojan Family honors and respects the USC sporting careers of those persons whose actions did not compromise their athletic programs or the opportunities of future USC student-athletes.  Accordingly, I have instructed the senior vice president for administration to remove athletic jerseys and murals displayed in recognition of OJ Mayo and Reggie Bush by mid-August–before the incoming class of students move on campus–….The university will also return Mr. Bush’s 2005 Heisman Trophy to the Heisman Trophy Trust in August.

Good riddance, Mr. Bush and Mr. Mayo.  Not one more USC student should be subjected to the vision of jerseys or murals of these to guys.  If they could figure out a way to black out any television channel that just might show a New Orleans Saints football game or a Memphis Grizzlies basketball game, they would.
