Terrelle Pryor, four teammates suspended first five games of 2011

rtse, I saw that Pryor had sold his gold pants (thought he was the only one). For that alone, he ought to be kicked completely off the team (ok, slight hyperbole alert). Kid's an idiot.

 

Oh you think Chris Spielman might mention something to him?

 

The fact that they can play in the bowl game is a disgrace. It's all about money and ratings as it alays is with the NCAA.

At least three of these guys will be gone next year anyway, so the suspension for next season is really nothing. A real punishment would be one game, the high profile Sugar Bowl, and let them play all the games next year.

 

I'm guessing Archie will be calling him in for a little chat.....

 

Again, all you're doing in that case, is screwing the entire team. It's a pretty stiff punishment, as it is.

With exception of Posey, I'm not sure any of the others would have left. Lord knows, none of the others are ready for the next level. Then again, neither is Posey.....but that wasn't going to stop him from going.

 

AJ Green thinks the NCAA got it right.

 

Good call. There is precedent. I'm also guessing that Tosu will appeal the suspension length & try to get it down to 4 games.

 

From the NCAA's website:

How is it even possible, let alone reasonable, that they didn't know this was against the rules? There's no way. What a sham. It seems the rules on this are pretty clear. The enforcement, though, is pretty muddy.

 

What I've learned from the NCAA in 2010:

1. Breaking the rules is OK, as long as you can blame it on daddy*
2. Breaking the rules is OK, as long as you didn't know it was against the rules*

*only applies if you're important

 

These kids were just trying to help their mothers!

 

fantastic

 

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Another player who got screwed by the NCAA.
