OSU must change Pryor's status for him to be NFL Supp Draft eligible...
Apparently, for a player to be eligible for the Supplemental Draft, the player must incur new eligibility issues since the end of the April draft. Currently, he's still just suspended, and voluntarily left school.
How awesome would it be if OSU gave him the finger and didn't change his status to ineligible?
From the article (which mostly discusses him playing in the UFL), it sounds like OSU will deem him ineligible, but damn, I'd be real tempted to screw him over. Ya' know since "people get missing for things like that" and all.
yes, but that gives him reason to tell the ncaa everything that happened, and im sure that is much more than what we have already heard
Exactly what I was thinking.
Now that I think of it, now instead of booster money, TP is going to be getting hush money, so things might turn out OK for him.
If he really wanted to make some cash he could go to the highest bidder with his story of what went on and make a killing.

Just as true the second time.
I don't this OP adds much. Delete worthy?
I think you accidentally
sorry for cluttering up your website.
...have nothing to gain from what you are suggesting. Not only would it give him motivation to spill his guts, but it would be a PR nightmare for them.
Yes, but they would have to admit that he had received additional benefits that were not included in the first story. Essentially, either admit that the car situation is an improper benefit, which probably takes down a whole lot more players, or that the latest $20K-$40K story is true, which could be equally bad.
I would assume he will have an agent going into the supplemental draft, which would make him ineligible. OSU would have to declare him ineligible in that instance, correct?
I'm not sure that would work to make him eligible as per NFL rules. It would seem pretty sketchy if you could purposefully make yourself ineligible after the time to enter the draft simply by hiring an agent, thus making yourself eligible for the supplemental draft. What would stop a stud junior from determining what teams would be likely to draft him based on need, and arranging with one to draft him in the supplemental, thus allowing the junior to control where he starts his professional career?
That's a good point. I'm not at all familiar with the specifics of the supplemental draft. I was just pointing out the fact that OSU's declaration of his collegiate ineligibility would not necessarily be an admission of improper benefits.
I don't have very intimate knowledge of how the supplemental draft works, but I would imagine $ would be a pretty big reason why you would not do that. I can't imagine the contracts of a drafted player, and a player drafted in the supplemental draft are equal, but I could be wrong.
I believe ESPN just said that theyu have already done this.

CFL team looking into Terrelle Pryor
There are few things that would make me laugh/smile more than TP in a Saskatchewan Roughriders uni next fall.
Come on Terrelle - Shut 'em down open up shop!
Doesn't this just seem like a Mastercard ad?
Tattoo branding you a selfish jerk that destroyed his football program? Free
Slightly used Nissan 350z - 11K
Terrelle Pryor in a Roughriders jersey? - priceless . . .
This is seriously one of the high points of my life. I love allll of this.
there is still no guarantee that an NFL team would want Pryor. He hasn't shown enough consistency to play QB at the next level. And nobody has seen him play any other position.
This would be great but I don't think OSU wants to give Pryor any reason to try and screw them over even more
Since he is draft eligible, when he hires his agent he will forfeit the final year that he had anyways.
Anyone here what he said on "The Morning Jones" or Sirus Radio? He basically let Terrelle Pryor off, but went on Jim Tressel and Ohio State.
That is all.
That is one happy monkey . . .
And yes, I know they’re not as smart down there, but they aren’t that stupid either.
They need Pryor to keep his mouth shut. Sabotoging his pro career is a very good way to encourage him to speak up about every single rule he broke — most likely including some that not even they know about. That, and every rule any other player violated, that he may have seen.
