NCAA Suspends Ohio State QB Terrelle Pryor, Five Other Buckeyes For the First Five Games of 2011
Ohio State just announced that QB Terrelle Pryor and four teammates have been suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season as a result of “tattoogate.” The other players suspended are RB Dan Herron, OL Mike Adams, WR DeVier Posey, and DL Solomon Thomas. These being some of the most high-profile Buckeyes, one wonders – will they bother to stick around to play half a season, or just bolt to the NFL early?
Ohio State’s early 2011 schedule includes Akron, Toledo, Miami, Colorado and Michigan State. [UPDATE: ESPN's Joe Schad reports in exchange for tattoos, Pryor sold "sold his Big Ten ring, a sportsmanship award and gold pants award." Sounds like a guy who may not be sticking around Columbus. Here's the entire release.]

Yikes. This has to effect recruiting, right? I probably wouldnt want to go to a school with a backup QB starting the first five games.

December 23rd, 2010 at 12:03 PM
This is a witch hunt. I have always wondered how I watch division 1 college football games and see these kids with $1,000 worth of ink covering their arms. How are these kids paying for their ink? It’s a tattoo epidemic! Seriously, it’s horseshit.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:03 PM
why not just suspend them for the bowl game considering this is not a big deal? the are going to lose anyways.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:04 PM
No it won’t. They have the number 2 QB Braxton Miller coming in and if anything, this expedites progression to get on the field. The rest of their No. 2 ranked class didn’t think they’d see the field that early, so next year’s status in no way would have them alter their thinking.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:04 PM
No, they don’t.
No, they’re not.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:04 PM
For tatoos. Yay NCAA!
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:04 PM

Spence, can he make an NFL roster next year as a QB?
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:05 PM
Penalty would be less if it was the coaches at fauly…. Remember the “rub the belly pat the head game”, college basketball/football is like the modern version of that:
assfuck the expendable/replaceable players, jack off the coaches/schools that get you money
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:07 PM
Sounds like a guy who may not be sticking around Columbus.
Do you (asking generally) think Pryor actually leaves for the NFL now?
Why stay? He can’t change NFL minds with half a season (even a great half a season). Meanwhile, a good combine/scouting process and he might go late 1st/early 2nd to some team and get a head start on his Troy Smith-style pro career.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:07 PM
At least I don’t have to worry about my bowl pick.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:07 PM
This blows. I may dislike the Buckeyes, but this is completely bogus. Tattoos? Really? My school had a fucking drug dealer on the team and no one is suspended for next season.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:08 PM
Says a lot about the state of Michigan football that those aren’t a cherished possession anymore
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:09 PM
So what would the ruling have been if they traded Farmville favors for tatoos?
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:10 PM
They were selling awards and rings which is a clear violation. You can thank UGA for that. They sold some SEC titles rings a few years back and the NCAA put the rule in place. Miami, Michigan and Colorado are very happy.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:10 PM
Early guess is that “good behavior” will get this knocked down to 2 games a piece.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:10 PM
Funny. I first saw this on ESPN while I was opening up a box of OSU gear my girlfriend sent me for Christmas.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:10 PM
So what if one of the football players volunteered to help someone move and received a case of beer as a thank you? Would they get suspended for that, too? This is all so fucking stupid. I hate Ohio State but this is just incredibly dumb.
The NCAA rules book needs a makeover in their “crimes and punishments” section.

Troy Smith was miles better than Pryor in college. Unless Pryor changes positions NOW and then develops maybe he’ll get drafted in the top 3 rounds. I can’t see Pryor going that early to anyone.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:17 PM
What?? So then why suspend them for five games either?
Because that would require a bit of rational thinking from a completely irrational organization. I LOATHE OSU, but the NCAA is a complete joke.
About 10 years ago Wisconsin got caught up in something like this-players got free shoes… they were suspended the first 3 games… if I recall correctly, we ended up losing to Cincinnati, costing us an undefeated season.

SG, as far as the moving thing goes, athletes can recieve compensation for work done, as long as it is considered fair market value, so for that, I doubt they get suspended. the thing with this is, they had to know they were violating a rule. athletes may not be the brightest bulb in the light socket, but they know the fucking rules. retarded? very. but don’t play dumb and act like they didn’t know the rules.
FWIW, I want them to play in the game so they don’t have a bullshit fallback excuse when Arkansas beats that ass.

I have to admit, I’m a little happy they’ll miss the MSU game. But seriously, 5 games for some tattoos? The NCAA is a joke. It’s okay for Cam Newton’s daddy to try to get paid off of him, but this gets you suspended for half a season?
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:20 PM
Peter Warrick was suspended two games for shoplifting. These guys get 5 games for bartering. What the hell is going on here?
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:21 PM

December 23rd, 2010 at 12:21 PM
They sold awards, uniforms and rings. That’s the issue…not the tattoos.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:22 PM
OSU suspended them. I’m a pessimistic motherfucker but I dont think they suspend them that many games unless they want to NCAA heat off their shoulders just in case they are doing some shady recruiting stuff
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:22 PM
What happened here is their dads gave the tattoo parlor some memorabilia – the players knew nothing about it.
that’s everyone’s story from now on right?
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:22 PM
But it’s okay for you dad to profit from your status, right?

I don’t think many of us are upset by the rule per se… it’s just with the Cam Newton story and all the arrests/rumors swirling around other programs… Oregon, Florida, etc…. busting these guys over a couple of tattoos seems downright silly. This is what the NCAA is coming down hard on? At the same time letting that player at Florida who beat up his girlfriend remain on the team? That’s what I’m upset about anyway.

December 23rd, 2010 at 12:23 PM

I am leaning this way as well. This was a school suspension, and 5 games is hefty. Seems like they are using a hack saw when a scalpel would do the job.

December 23rd, 2010 at 12:27 PM
Laveranues Coles took the fall on that deal. Got kicked off the team.
Almost always the school will preemptively suspend or sit a player whose eligibility might be in question. That way, there are no repercussions down the road for playing an ineligible player. Take a look at UNC. They sat several kids to start the season this year that were eventually ruled eligible to play.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:27 PM
The five makes sense for OSU. Go over the top in punishment, and make your appeals to the NCAA. Despite what people babble out on here, OSU does have a pretty solid record in recent years with compliance and in dealing with the NCAA. Those five games will absolutely be reduced. Question is, will missing any games force the upperclassmen to think about leaving earlier?
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:28 PM

If I were OSU, I would try to guage TP and if he is going to come back, I would appeal for suspensions to start with the bowl game. If he is leaving then try to win one last game with him.
Too bad they didn’t just practice too much.

Ironic that this was discovered when TP’s boyfriend spilled beans after noticing his tramp stamp while going at him from the rear.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:38 PM
Here’s what I understand in the very soon thereafter:
The suspensions are for selling things that the players received as a part of playing football.
This happened when each of he players in question were freshmen.
Ohio State’s compliance department did not cover this part of the NCAA Compliance rules until they were sophomores.
It is 5 games. 4 games (30% of season) is the standard punishment, similar to AJ Green’s earlier this year. The 5th is for not coming clean as soon as they received education about not selling things that they received for playing football.
The players are eligible to play in the Sugar Bowl because the NCAA admitted that the players in question did not receive the compliance education until after the transgressions took place.
The players are required to give back the money, which will be donated to charity.
There is possibility of reduction in penalties if the school and the players involved comply with their repayment in a timely fashion.

Break news – Sugar Bowl has changed sponsors for this year.
Sugar Bowl brought to you by Inkstop.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:44 PM
They said TP needed money to help out his mother (so it must have been cash plus tattoos). One of the things he sold was an award from the Fiesta Bowl – so it was more than freshman year stuff.
Plus if his family needs money and to get reinstated he has to pay back $2,500 – how does he do that? He is not allowed to work right?
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:44 PM

God, that place is a hellhole. I went to school at GMI. Showed up for class on July 4th my first year. In the first 3 months, we had gunshots fired on campus, an escaped rapist hiding in the dorms, and a police chase end on campus. As soon as I found out that my diploma was going to say Kettering University instead of GMI, I got the hell out.

Nothing. The Big 10 is still Ohio State and then 11 other teams as far as I’m concerned.

The other piece that I left out.
Ohio State’s compliance office turned this information in to the NCAA as soon as they were made aware, which was on Monday. With the information that Ohio State provided, the NCAA acted immediately because of breaking the NCAA “preferential treatment bylaws”.

ok Thanks Wally- damn it seems like he’s been there a long time – I forgot that the bowl 2 years ago he would have been a freshman.

Probably not the Heisman but he should be eligible for the most exciting player in the last 30 years award

and michigan will still be a 7-5 abortion of a football team.
then again, OSU isn’t the program on probation, michigan is. throwing stones, glass houses and all that.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:52 PM
new post please
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:53 PM
I don’t get why I can’t talk Huskers. The Big 10 is a better league than everyone save for the SEC. It’s just that OSU is on a different level as a program. Entering 2011 I’d go OSU, NEB, MSU, Wisconsin, PSU, Michigan and then Iowa.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:54 PM
Damn, SAE still does Beergardens? I was Sigma Chi. Nothing quite so fun as sliding down the hill into a manually dug pool and then doing a keg stand while under water.
Still can’t remember everything I did at the Fortress house parties. Jungle Juice was such a bad/good idea.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:54 PM

December 23rd, 2010 at 12:56 PM
I mean heading into next year. Wisconsin loses their QB and two studs from the o-line. Michigan State brings back a lot and Nebraska will have more talent than Wisky next year, though Wisconsin is a bad match up for them.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:57 PM
You need to start paying more attention to your future home. MSU will sink back to their normal levels, as they lose quite a few upperclassmen. Still no idea who is the QB at PSU. And doesn’t Wisconsin graduate almost their entire offensive line?
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:57 PM
Well you just said the B10 is OSU and everybody else, so why bother talking about the Huskers then.

Not even sure what this means, but maybe if Iowa didn’t suck donkey cock the Big 10 would be closer to the SEC.

December 23rd, 2010 at 12:58 PM
It doesn’t mean that “everyone else” can’t upset OSU (see Wisconsin this year). It just means that if OSU plays each team 10 times, they are winning a lot more than they’re losing.
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:58 PM
yeah hes awful
December 23rd, 2010 at 12:58 PM

Wasn’t Bielema the worst coach in the Big 10 just a few months ago? Strange how a few wins can change everything so suddenly.

I think Texas will watch what happens with BYU’s independence as crazy as that sounds. Texas is one school that could make a ton of money that way.
I’m also curious to see what happens with the Big East basketball schools as they get zero benefit from sharing the conference with “BCS” football schools.

December 23rd, 2010 at 1:19 PM
He sold his gold pants. Clearly OSU isn’t paying enough.
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:19 PM
If anything, it’s proof otherwise. The dudes sold their stuff to get money. If they were getting paid, wouldn’t they hold onto their own stuff?
And, the oversigning bit? That is a blatant disregard to the NCAA rules, just as this case is. The difference is that its the coaching staff and athletic department snubbing their nose at the rules instead of dumb 18 year old kids.
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:21 PM
I still blame Michigan. If the Golden Pants weren’t so fucking easy to win for the last 9 years, guys wouldn’t think about selling them. If a freshman sells his, he knows he has 3 more coming.
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:22 PM
I wasnt clear enough. Obviously looking the other way (like Clarrett and his cars) is akin to paying. When your star QB, who you know for a fact is not wealthy, keeps showing up with hundreds if not thousands in new tats, you should probably have a meeting with him.
Its also about fostering an atmosphere where this is acceptable, which again, this isnt the first time.
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:22 PM
They didn’t get their TV contract divided into two sections, and we all know it isn’t basketball bringing in all of that money.
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:24 PM
Mark Emmert is sure doing a Brownie level job in his first few months on the job. Last time he started a new job he saddled UW with Tyrone “The Program Killer” Willingham. So maybe there is hope that he’ll end up driving the NCAA into the ground too.
Also, anybody else wonder if the NCAA is taking cues from South Park and making decisions with dying chickens these days?
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:26 PM
better than fostering an atmosphere of mediocrity where the players are allowed to just kick the shit out of whomever they want.
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:31 PM
You’re correct, TP is the only poor black kid in college football with tats…give me a fucking break.
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:32 PM

December 23rd, 2010 at 1:36 PM
To quote the NCAA:
“High-profile players merit high-profile enforcement.”
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:41 PM
To quote Coop:
“OSU players with tatoos = NCAA violation”.
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:47 PM
To me all OSU players are a violation of human life, but my 3 years of living in Columbus has clearly biased my opinion.
