Reggie Bush wants his Heisman Trophy back.

The former USC running back took to social media on Thursday to announce his wish to have "the reinstatement of [his] college records and the return of [his] Heisman" award after the NCAA announced that college athletes could benefit off their name, image and likeness starting July 1.

In 2010, Bush became disassociated from USC for 10 years and had his Heisman vacated after it was revealed that he and his family received improper benefits during his college career.

Now that the NCAA has officially changed the landscape for college sports, many agree with Bush's plea, and stand behind the All-Pro. Several NFL stars and media personalities spoke out on Twitter, calling out the NCAA to make things right.

It was always dumb they took Reggie Bush’s Heisman. But now that name, image and likeness is legal it’s insane. Give him the Heisman back. https://t.co/zANddhMxJN

Hey NCAA: since you have now admitted that college athletes are professional, how about righting past wrongs and reinstating the records of Reggie Bush, the Fab Five, and countless others you mistreated over the phony concept of amateurism? It was unfair then, and clearly so now.
