FBI investigates firm that tried to lure Reggie Bush
The FBI has opened
an investigation into a fledgling San Diego sports marketing firm that tried to
recruit Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush, the attorney for the football star's
family told the Associated Press Wednesday.
David Cornwell of Atlanta said FBI agents interviewed him about "potential
federal crimes" last week by phone. Cornwell said he intends to make Bush and
his parents available to the FBI.
"They've asked now to interview Reggie and
his parents," Cornwell said. "I intend to cooperate."
April Langwell, an FBI spokeswoman in San Diego, would neither confirm nor deny
any probe.
The NCAA and Pac-10 are investigating whether any rules were broken when Reggie Bush's
family lived in a suburban San Diego home owned by Michael Michaels, a principal
in New Era Sports and Entertainment, while Reggie Bush was still playing for Southern
California last season. The NCAA bars student-athletes and their families from
receiving extra benefits from agents or their representatives.
