(AP) — T he Pacific-10 C onfer­
ence, finding m erit in O klahom a's
com plaints about the officiating in
its loss to O regon, issued a one-
gam e suspension M onday to the
officiating crew and the instant re­
play officials w ho worked the game
and an apology to the Sooners.
The Ducks won the gam e 34-33
after scoring tw o touchdow ns in
the final 72 seconds.
“ Errors clearly were m ade and
not corrected, and for that we apolo­
gize to the University o f O klahom a,
coach Bob Stoops and his play­
ers," Pac-10 C om m issioner Tom
Hansen said in a statem ent. "They
played an outstanding college foot­
ball gam e, as did Oregon, and it is
regrettable that the outcom e o f the
contest was affected by the offici­
ating.”
A fter the S o o n e rs’ p rac tice
M onday night, Stoops said the
apology brought him no satisfac­
tion.
“At least they have reacted to it
and tried. Truly there can be no
am ends to it and it ca n ’t be cor­
rected," Stoops said.

O regon’s gam e-w inning drive —
an onside kick that gave the Ducks
possession and a pass interference
call one play before O reg o n 's w in­
ning touchdown.
Hansen said the onside kick was
touched by an O regon player b e­
fore it had traveled the required 10
yards, and, therefore, the ball should
have been aw arded to Oklahom a.
The video also show s an O klahom a
player actually recovered the ball,
although that aspect o f the play
was not review able under the in­
stant replay rule.

rageous injustice," and asking him
to pursue having the gam e elim i­
nated from the record books and
having the officials involved in the
gam e suspended for the rem ainder
o f the season.
W eiberg responded with a state­
ment saying the result o f the game
would stand.
“There is no provision under
N CA A or conference rules for a
gam e resu lt to be rev ersed or
changed as a result o f officiating
errors, nor do 1 believe there should
be,” he said.

“T he fact that the errors on the
onside kick altered the outcom e o f
the gam e is m ost unfortunate and
unsettling," Hansen said. "W e had
a solid veteran crew assigned, and
the instant replay official had a fine
career as a referee in the Pac-10.
Hansen said that the future work

(A P) - New O rleans Saints running back
and H eism an Trophy w inner Reggie Bush
insisted Friday he and his family have done
nothing wrong, responding to allegations
that they accepted gifts, money and other
benefits worth more than $ 100,000 from two
m arketing agents during his career at South­
ern California.
“I'm not w orried about any o f these allega­
tions or anything like that, because I know
w hat the truth is, like 1 said from day one,”
B u sh sa id . “ O n c e th e sm o k e c le a rs ,
ev ery b o d y 's going to see we did nothing
w rong.”
Y a h o o .c o m re p o rte d T h u rs d a y th at
M ichael M ichaels, a m arketing agency inves­
tor and current Bush m arketing agent Mike
O m stein supplied Bush and his family with
gifts w hile he was still at USC.
The NCAA prohibits student-athletes and
their families from receiving extra benefits
from agents or their representatives. Any
im proper benefits could lead to N CA A sanc­
tions against USC and retroactively cost Bush
his college eligibility and H eism an Trophy.
Bush responded to questions about the
report much the same as he did when the
allegations o f im proper benefits first were
reported earlier this year.
"O bviously it does affect you ju st because
it is out there," Bush said. “ But at the same
tim e, I know th ere's nothing to worry about.
It m akes you want to go out there right away
and tell your side o f the story. Show every­
body the facts, the truth. But you c a n 't do
that. T hat w ouldn’t be the right way to do it.”
Y ahoo.com reported earlier this year that
B u sh 's m other and stepfather lived rent free
last year in a house in the San D iego area
ow ned by Michaels. He later said the family
promised to repay him the $54,(XM) in rent once
