Ohio State throws Terrelle Pryor under the bus

From http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Ohio-State-bans-Terrelle-Pryor-to-the-benefit-o?urn=ncaaf-wp4185">Yahoo!:

Ohio State said in a letter to Pryor's attorney Larry James today that the former quarterback has been "completely disassociated" with the program and would not have been reinstated to the team after his five-game suspension.

The school also has banned him from any contact with the athletic program for five years.

This is perhaps an even sadder ending to Pryor's Ohio State career than the one we all believed for the past month. Even Ohio State isn't standing by the image of Pryor being the decent football player who made some mistakes and left the program. Pryor is now portrayed as a guy who willfully ruined his university's reputation and disgraced himself and his association with the game.

He's like the Barry Bonds of college football, only not nearly as successful.

1. Though...

this does also potentially make him eligible for a supplemental draft, so as the headline says it may help start his NFL career.

2. He knew what he was doing...

and OSU knew he knew what he was doing...OSU is equally culpable.

3. " would not have been reinstated to the team after his five-game suspension."

Anyone here think Pryor didn't learn this before he left? I'm pretty sure he did and OSU knew pretty much what was going on but is doing its best to play ignorant now.
