Reggie Bush
Most NFL fans remember when Reggie Bush was drafted as No. 2 overall and basically, dominated the game as the USC Trojans’ running back. However, after the draft some intense allegations surfaced that Bush got money and gifts from boosters. Eventually, he even gave up his Heisman Trophy.
The NCAA also ended up taking away USC’s championship trophy and wins for the 2004-5 NFL season.
Spygate
In 2007 the Jets complained to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell that the Patriots had been filming their signals from their defensive coordinator during a game. It was uncovered that the allegations were true. However, Bill Belichick claimed he misinterpreted the rules, but was fined $500,000.
In addition, it was discovered they filmed a Rams’ practice back in 2000. The scandal became known as Spygate and forever stained the Patriots’ reputation.
