Terrell Pryor and Others Disciplined by NCAA

Can Pryor block and catch? He's huge. I bet he'd make a good TE.

He would be a project at QB.

You're not gonna find a single Buckeye fan who thinks he'll make a good NFL QB.

I dont' know if he can block and catch. But he is an enormous target. Tall and big and very difficult to take down, and he's a very smooth runner. I really think he has potential to be a Boldin type receiver. I think his ability as a Quarterback would also make him a natural at understanding how to break down a defense.

Report: Tressel was alerted to gear sale in April

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Yahoo! Sports is reporting Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel was informed that some of his players had sold memorabilia to the owner of a tattoo parlor more than eight months before the school said it was made aware of improper transactions.

The website, citing an unidentified source, reports Tressel received information as early as April 2010 that players were selling items to Edward Rife, who owns Fine Line Ink Tattoos in Columbus
Ohio State officials did not immediately respond to a requests for comment by the AP.

Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith has said the local U.S. Attorney's office on Dec. 7 alerted the school that some of its players were selling items such as jerseys and championship rings to Rife.

Soon after, the school opened an investigation and informed the NCAA of the possible rules violations.

On Dec. 23, quarterback Terrelle Pryor was among five players suspended by the NCAA for the first five games of the 2011 season. All the players were allowed to play in Ohio State's 31-26 victory against Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl.

If it is proven that Tressel knew about the possible NCAA violations and did not inform Smith or the compliance office, the coach and the program could face more sanctions.

Tailback Dan "Boom" Herron, wide receiver DeVier Posey and left tackle Mike Adams, along with Sugar Bowl star Solomon Thomas, a backup defensive end who had the game-clinching interception were also suspended.

Each player was also made to repay to charity the value of what he gained by swapping their memorabilia for cash and tattoos.

Ohio State is appealing to the NCAA to get the suspensions reduced, although the NCAA's decision to allow the players to participate in the Sugar Bowl drew a wide range of criticism and questions.

I heard the yahoo reporter this morning on a Houston radio show. He sounded pretty certain of his source. They asked him like three times how sure he was about the info, and he was like, (paraphrased) "I'm sure. We double checked, we triple checked. This is solid, we took our time on this." Either he's a great bullshitter, or he's really really confident he can back all this up.

So what could this mean, if true? More sanctions/punishment for tOSU?

Major infractions. Since they're a known school, probably loss of 2 scholarships. Probation.

Hopefully, this leads to Tressel resigning or getting canned.

Anything that could lessen the competition for recruiting Dorial Green BEckham next year is fine by me!
