Why hasn't Johnny Manziel's Heisman been stripped?

Dude is on Netflix admitting to all types of illegal activities.

They took Reggie Bush's for less.

Doing dumb things the year AFTER winning the heisman doesn’t get it taken away

Right before Jameis won the Heisman, the committee removed the moral character portion of the award essentially making it just like any other award

To be clear, I don't think Johnny's should be stripped either, he won it on the field.

Reggie's should be returned yesterday though, that entire deal was bullshite.

Pretty sure he’s talking about Manziel saying he laundered over 100k through his grandfather while in college

Auburn made the NCAA our bitch and there’s been zero consequences for anything since.

You’re welcome.

Most of that was still after the Heisman.

No one gave a shite about who Manziel was until halfway through his Heisman trophy year.

Naw.

As long as Jason White & Gino Torretta are allowed to keep there Heismans, JFF should retain his based on the lower crimes.

Vadal Alexander got paid a lot less by an LSU booster than what Manziel was paid. Will Aggies have to forfeit wins?

What Johnny did was legal under NIL rules. That’s the difference. It’s not frowned upon anymore. Reggie got a house, Newton got a church.

It’s been a while. Can you refresh my memory on their shady shenanigans?

That's not how this works at all.

That's just what they could establish. Your program was a dumpster fire of sexual harassment, illegal payments, and intimidation. Hell, I remember when this very site banned anyone who posted anything hinting at the rumors about Les Miles.

I myself was banned for merely posting a link to a newspaper article about Coach O's old restraining order.

He most definitely partied pre-Heisman.

He got into that drunken fight where he was arrested before being named the starter. The Scooby-Doo Halloween. Showing up hungover to the Mississippi State game but still managing to dominate. All those things happened during the 2012 season.

It wasn't until the following offseason where he was signing stuff for money.

And now they can establish Manziel and A&M were doing the exact same thing.
