QB/WR Terrelle Pryor ('10 Rose, '11 Sugar MVP)

[AuTX Buckeye]

nice but doesn't make me feel more warm and fuzzy.

Agreed but as long has TP didn't know about it we're in the clear. - per the Auburn rule, perhaps she got that and $180 k :)

Used 2008 Nissan 350zs going for approximately $24K retail. That's not outrageous. FWIW

But parent's are cool, right?

Actually, just to be a little more serious.

It wouldn't be hard for Mrs. Pryor to obtain a nice loan, knowing her son may be financially fit in the near future?

That's outside of OSU's reach, right? She could, on her own right, go to a dealer and get a loan where they simply know that she will, with a higher potential, "be good for it" down the line.

Obviously this all depends on OSU's involvement, but if it's just her and a dealer doing their own thing with TP in mind, OSU is off the hook. No?

Fair criticism is being allowed, but some posts have been deleted, and there have been infractions issued.

Times like these are tough on mods/admins, I only keep doing it for the vCash.

Eh, you could have vRetired years ago. You just do it for the elitist pr ick groupies...

Not exactly cheap for someone who said he was selling stuff for money to help his mom, if I recall correctly.

 

[NFBuck]

Just said on the news that the name on the car Pryor was driving tonight is his mother's

Well then...

I don't think proper financial institutions take future employment possibilities of family members into consideration, but some other loan company/person might.

I wouldn't doubt that in many instances they have, either.

When human beings are involved, things like this happen. It's just a matter of how far you want to extend the web of "this is okay" and "this is not".

True. I would love to go tell that Cadillac dealer that my future wife is going to swimming in cash very soon.

She will. When I meet her. Someday.

Yeah that was my politically correct was of saying it

IIRC, LeBron's mom was rolling around in a Hummer while he was still in HS. Caused a stir at the time but I don't think anything ever came of it.

LeBron might have told Pryor and his mom who to talk to.

I have tried and tried, but I just can't wrap my head around it or rationalize this decision.

How the hell does someone that is 6'6" comfortably fit into a 350Z?

I ain't gonna lie, I was wondering that myself.
