Manziel pleads guilty to 2012 misdemeanor charge, other charges dismissed

4. Ohio State doesn't have the authority to strip anybody of the Heisman Trophy.

The only ones that can do that are the Heisman Trophy Trust like what happened with Reggie Bush when he violated NCAA rules.

We are also talking about a Class B misdemeanor that relates to an incident where Manziel intervened in a fight between a local and another football player. Manziel actually was trying to stop a fight and things escalated from there. The coaching staff weighed the circumstances and made a decision to keep him on the team--there weren't any NCAA rules violations and they may have decided that some other form of discipline was more appropriate than a suspension. If universities suspended every athlete that was involved in a off-campus brawl, then I doubt any school would ever be able to field of roster of players.
