That scenario has the potential to be a source of team dissension

I'm sure the replacement QB (which is all the "new" QB will be, a temp fill-in for Pryor) will be told in no uncertain terms that Pryor's the man come game six (if not earlier based on the appeal).

NCAA Bungles Ohio State Ruling Along With Entirety of 2010's Rulings

By Clay Travis Senior NCAA Writer | Follow on Twitter: @ClayTravisBGID

In past years, I've analogized the NCAA's enforcement arm to a traffic cop. I hate, hate, hate traffic cops. So do you. Why? Because they sit on the side of the road and watch everyone speed by. Occasionally they pull out into traffic, pull over a speeder and write him or her a ticket. While the traffic cop is writing you the ticket, everyone continues to speed past you as you sit on the side of the road. Nothing changes. Any attempt to regulate traffic speeds is impossible. It's a stupid, ineffective and inconsistent, just like the NCAA.

In the wake of NCAA's ruling on Ohio State's five football players, including Terrelle Pryor, who all acknowledged selling jerseys, rings or gold pants, I believe I've been too generous to the NCAA. This has been the year when the NCAA has stopped being a traffic cop and turned into an arbitrary and capricious dictator. Think an insane Saddam Hussein at the height of his powers in Iraq. The NCAA is a totalitarian dictator, the rules are what the NCAA says the rules are. Even if, you know, honest logic dies in the process...

High school film under no circumstances is an indication of starting as a freshman for the greatest university on the planet over the last big thing to come to the greatest university on the planet IMHO.................... I would bet alot of vCash that Guiton, Bauserman, and Graham will compete to fill in for TP if infact he comes back....with odds on KG

I have to invoke Godwin's Law on this one.

Like using Hitler, when dude invokes Saddam Hussein to make his point, he automatically loses the argument.

Here is what I think you're saying: "What is important is that there is to be a football game. The ethics of who plays or doesn't play is immaterial.

The opinions that are being posted here are valueless and have no bearing on the football game.

Break out the brewskis and play ball!"

Is that an accurate restatement?

What was so "ethical" about Chip Kelly suspending LaMichael James for ONE game after pleading guilty to a Misdemeanor Physical Harassment for beating up his girlfriend? Where was the moral high ground there???

I guess because it's The Ohio State University the media and fans feel the need to hold the Buckeyes to a higher standard and pile on endlessly for a handful of football players who sold their BigTen Championship rings. Because that's ethically and morally much worse than beating a girl up for no fucking reason. So they deserve to be made an example of and ethics suddenly become the ground we are going to stand on.

Maybe LaMichael James didn't know any better either, right? GMAFB

5 games is an excessive penalty and if you were to consider a BCS bowl game worth up to two regular season games in terms of suspensions that would be 7 games for selling shit. And 1 game for beating a girl up.

I honestly don't care if they play in the Sugar Bowl but, if they're already being suspended an excessive amount why add to it? What kind of message is that sending to the kids?
WE MEAN BUSINESS!!
WE WON'T STAND FOR THIS!!
WE ARE GOING TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF YOU!!

Because that's the ethical thing to do I guess.

Like I said on Pryor's thread - if it turns out that Miller - a freshman - is better than Pryor - a senior - I'll be happier than a crab on a nut sack. But, there's a whole thread of us making fun of Michigan men for thinking their newest freshman QB would waltz right in and play like a beast from day one. Besides... I remember Pryor's HS film being pretty impressive too.

Yes it's high school film..there's not a lot you can take from it. There is next to 0 chance that Pryor would lose the starting job. Miller may be extremely talented but coming in and starting as a true freshmen is very difficult to do. Pryor did it in 08 out of need imo and had Beanie Wells in the backfield and veteran receivers to operate with. Miller is not going to have that, he'll have to rely on his athleticism much like TP did early. That of course is IF they decide to go with him in those first 5 games..you never know. The up side of course is that they can do a lot of similar things on offense while waiting for Pryor to come back
