But the F150 could be a coaches for all we know, or could be a well-off players car. The 350z we know is Pryor's, and we know that he doesn't (shouldn't?) have the means to pay for it.

I'm just not assuming anything. For all we know he could be playing a sick joke and borrowing someone's car to make it look like his. Just tryin' to keep a level head here until it's all said and done.

Looks like TP might be going down also! Link:http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefoo...eyes-Terrelle-Pryor-NCAA-investigation-053011
On the same day coach Jim Tressel resigned in the wake of an NCAA investigation, The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that the NCAA and Ohio State are looking into whether star quarterback Terrelle Pryor received cars and other extra benefits.
Pryor, who will be a senior this fall, has already been interviewed at least once by investigators, the paper reported.
The newspaper cited unnamed sources who said this is the most significant inquiry of Pryor. The NCAA and Ohio State are also probing more than 50 car purchases by Buckeyes players, their families and friends.
He and four other players have been suspended for the first five games this fall for accepting improper benefits from a local tattoo-shop owner. Tressel knew of those benefits and did not report it to Ohio State or NCAA officials.
Tressel resigned early Monday citing NCAA violations which he said had ''been a distraction'' for Ohio State.
The newspaper's sources say that Pryor has been connected to at least six vehicles during his time at Ohio State.
A university spokesman declined to confirm any reports dealing with individual athletes.
The Dispatch reported in January that Pryor had been stopped three times for traffic violations over the past three years, each time driving cars that were owned by a car salesman or a Columbus used-car dealership where the salesman worked.
The salesman, Aaron Kniffin, told the newspaper that while working at a dealership in 2008, he allowed Pryor to drive his SUV to Pryor's hometown of Jeannette, Pa., and show it to his mother. Pryor did not buy the vehicle.
Kniffin also said he arranged for Pryor to use a 2009 Dodge while Pryor's car was being worked on at another dealership where Kniffin worked.
At least one of the dealerships has dozens of autographed jerseys hanging up inside its offices. Pryor said, at the time, that he doesn't remember signing his jersey that hangs in the dealership.
''I sign a lot of stuff for Buckeye fans - I don't like to turn down fans,'' he said. ''But I don't do it to get any favors or discounts.''

That's a valid point.
Although driving an expensive ride looks bad, and appears to be fairly thoughtless based on what's happened today (not just JT resigning, but apparently another investigation that will look into Pryor and potential improper benefits), we should wait for some facts before hammering a player.

I'm willing to do that, but it's reeeeeaaaally hard not to hammer his total lack of judgement. This is one of those situations in which I just don't get the mindset of the person in question. It's just bad in every way. Carpool, take a bus, ride a bike, walk, hail a cab, JUST DON'T SHOW UP IN A NISSAN 350z WITH TAGS FROM MAY 24!

I agree.
You can never be sure its the 4th dead hooker being pulled from the trunk if all you see are legs/arms, you need to make sure they are attached to a torso before you can say its actually a(nother) dead hooker. Then again, how do we know she was a hooker?
