Significant inquiry by NCAA and OSU under way for Pryor, sources say

Apparently more car issues coming to light...

And this from 11 Warriors:

We're hearing from a pretty reliable source that Terrelle Pryor's playing days are over at Ohio State due to new allegations.

Vacated, well, that's something. But try looking at it this way: we suffered through awful losses to a team whose most prominent player (among others?) should allegedly have been ineligible. They can erase the wins from the record books and all but they can't take away how horrible it felt to endure those losses as they happened. And they happened in part because Ohio State cheated. We'll never know if the outcomes would have been different without them cheating. In retrospect, I suppose it takes some of the sting away. But not all of it. I feel cheated out of fair games. F*#k them for that! I wish I believed in hell.

Saw this and posted on another thread. Thanks for making this it's own thread. Everything is just snowballing for OSU now.

but I will just say, I'd much prefer Hunter Pence to Matt Kemp. Their overall plate production is about the same over their careers (wRC+ of 117 for Kemp and 115 for Pence), but Pence is the far far better defender. I'll leave this discussion at that. Back to Pryor.

if he didn't act like an entitled and spoiled child the entire time.  So much wasted talent.  I feel bad for RR putting so much of his effort in trying to get him and that failure (now under WAY suspicious circumstances) certainly played a part in RR's difficulty getting the fanbase to rally around him.

You won't see Pryor in an OSU uniform again.  Even without new allegations I would think they wouldn't want to deal with the fallout.

Everything happens for a reason. Imagine how lucky we were that we didn't get Pryor and instead got Denard. Denard is the anti-Pryor. He is humble, coachable and has integrity.

and by a few I mean most of them, are now blaming TP for getting Tressel fired (instead of the more controversial blaming Tressel for getting Tressel fired.) Sports pundits were saying it's lucky that his first game back is on the road so he only has to face a little buckeye wrath. Plus he's sitting out the spring/fall camps after his foot surgery, and then 5 games.

Wow.  You can see how this implicates compliance - they KNEW about the car stuff, and prided themselves on having investigated it and APPROVED it.
