I'd be very surprised if Bush returns to NOLA this year because it'd be difficult to imagine the Saints forking over that wad of cash his contract calls for when there's so many other more deserving players on the team who are paid less & yet more valuable & more talented players, like starting running back Pierre Thomas.
But Bushs SB performance was fillting if it turns out to be his final in a Saints uni: he made virtually no contribution to the win and was all but invisible on the field but stood next to the podium & MVP Brees as the QB showed off the SB trophy.
And later this month the NCAA is scheduled to finally rule on the matter of
Bush getting paid while at USC:
"USC will appear in front of an NCAA infractions committee from Feb. 19-21 to hear about possible sanctions for the athletic program stemming from the Bush and Mayo investigations. While it is unclear whether anything will be decided during those meetings,
one potential outcome could be USC having to forfeit Bush's Heisman and the school's 12-1 season that culminated in a memorable Rose Bowl loss to Texas."
