In this story:

Texas A&M Aggies legend Johnny Manziel is known as one of the more outspoken players in the college football realm.

And recently, Manziel took exception with the NCAA over their treatment of former USC Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush.

Bush, of course, was one of Manziel's 'Heisman Fraternity' brothers before voluntarily giving up his trophy in 2010 following the controversy surrounding him receiving impermissible benefits, and USC receiving heavy sanctions as a result.

"There is nothing I want to see more than for Reggie to get his Heisman back. I think what the NCAA did in that situation is complete bullsh*t," Manziel tweeted.

One of the most electric players in the history of college football, Bush had one of the most memorable seasons ever in 2005, rushing for 1,740 yards and 16 touchdowns.

He would then go on to best his teammate, Matt Leinart, and Texas Longhorns quarterback Vince Young for the award. 

And if it were up to Manziel, the NCAA would recognize Bush's achievements, and return the honor that he earned all those years ago. 

"He is one of the best college football players in history and deserves to be on that stage with us every year," Manziel continued. "The only difference between my story and Reggie’s is that my 'illegal activities' did not start until after my Heisman season."
