Johnny Manziel Boycotts Heisman Ceremony in Solidarity with Reggie Bush

Manziel refuses to attend the prestigious event until Bush's Heisman Trophy is reinstated, challenging the NCAA's stance on past infractions.

Former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel announced he will not participate in the annual Heisman ceremony until Reggie Bush is welcomed back.
Bush was stripped of his 2005 Heisman Trophy following an NCAA investigation that found he received improper benefits.
Manziel's boycott is a stand against the NCAA's refusal to reinstate Bush's Heisman status despite current NIL rules that would allow such benefits.
The Heisman Trust has expressed willingness to reinstate Bush's trophy if the NCAA agrees, which has not yet happened.
Manziel's action has sparked discussions about the NCAA's policies and the potential for other former winners to join the boycott.
