‘The trophy sold for $255,500 at auction in 1999 and those funds went to the Goldman family. Despite his legal troubles, the Heisman Trust never stripped Simpson of his trophy. Like the Hall of Fame, the Trust doesn’t have any bylaws in place that would allow it to rescind the award, so although Simpson doesn’t have the trophy anymore, he will hold the title of “Heisman winner” for the rest of time (Simpson’s trophy is now owned by a Nevada businessman, who bought it in 2019).’
