Pat Haden was on the Dan Patrick Show yesterday and gave his thoughts on USC’s decision to disassociate itself from Reggie Bush:

“We love Reggie Bush, we love the enthusiasm and the excitement. He was one of the greatest players in college football and really a lot of fun to watch,” Haden said. “But I think our new president — president-elect Max Nikias — was really sending a second message, a more subliminal message, that while we want great players like Reggie Bush to continue to come to USC, we just win in the right way. To win with intergrity.”
