Did the university file a false police report? No.

Did Clarett? Yes.

I think Ohio State probably waited to suspend Maurice (who is an incredible football talent) to give the appearance of trying to help him or at least to avoid the appearance that they don't back their players, etc.

That all said, he broke the law. There are repurcussions to those actions and he should face up to them. I don't have a suggestion for what those should be, but he should step up and face the legal issues like a man.

EDIT: He shouldn't be prohibited to play in the NFL imho. If he can't play college ball and he steps up on the legal issue, let him play NFL ball.
