that's what doesn't make sense to me. They are doing this so he can get eligible for the draft, but the suspension is a punishment for what he did. What he did and what Posey and Herron did are basically the same, yet no suspension for them.Didn't they do the same thing as TP with the tattoos?
yes, but from what I understand this was a move to facilitate Pryor's eligibility into the supplemental draft--this really wasn't meant as a punishment, per se

TP had a de facto suspension anyways though. There's no way he was coming anywhere close to Columbus for at least 5 yrs

Why didn't Pryor say he was leaving school because he had been banned from OSU for 5 years? Smith banned Pryor from OSU yesterday, which is a rather large coincidence considering it just came out that the NFL could view Pryor ineligible for the supplemental draft because his status with the university hadn't changed when Pryor left.

Can't win with the haters, but we sure as hell are going to win on the field, while ND/Michigan will be at the bottom of the barrel(again).

There may not be a supplemental draft this year because Terrelle Pryor isn't eligible and they may not be any players to select
Terrelle Pryor is ineligible because the NCAA and Ohio State haven't formally ruled anything on him and that needs to happen for the draft

The level of stupidity on this thread is becoming mind-numbing.
