It is a shame that a kid with so much talent has so much difficulty directing it positively. Perhaps the best lesson he could learn, at this point in his young life, would be that great athletic talent does not shield one from the consequences of inappropriate behavior.

Ohio State doesn't need the distraction during a national championship run. Guys gave up a lot of bucks to play for the Bucks one more time. Clifford doesn't need everyone watching his every step waiting for the next small incident.

It is a real shame, but whether he is convicted of these charges or not, it probably is time to wish Clifford well as he finds another university at which he can ply his skills and try to get a university degree.
This pretty well sums it up for me. Although the possibililty that the Holy Grail allows 18-20 year olds inside and only serves those with a hand-stamp (as mentioned by generaladm), should be kept in mind until that is clarified.

But just based on the fighting charges, assuming they're not dropped, I'll be surprised if JT doesn't let Clifford know that he's lost his privilege of ever playing football again for tOSU.

I believe it's important that other members of the team see consequences for those that are committing transgressions.
