I am glad that he is leaving. Not bashing. In my opinion, he was a divisive figure WITHIN the team. While everyone did and should respect his athleticism, he was a difficult team mate. I am speaking from the perspective of someone who personally knew ALL of the players and coaches in question. I haven't been around the kid since his Frosh year, but I saw a kid that caused a massive rift among the team from the beginning. HE would back talk coaches but be beyond reproach from older players who would stick up for the coach (I know that sounds ludicrous) He was given so much leeway and treated so much different than other players, it was obnoxious.

I think for the Buckeyes to move forward and get these things behind them, they need to do it without TP on the team. I do NOT put the other 4 kids in the tat 5 in the same category. Even though the others messed up, I would not look at any of those other kids as a cancer to the team.

TP won a lot of games while he played QB for the Buckeyes, but the state that he is leaving the team in will take a long time to recover from. I hope he learns and succeeds as he goes through life, but I am glad to see this page turned.

good news: pryor doesn't have to speak to the ncaa.

bad news: pryor faces far fewer repercussions when he does speak.

Won't he still have to talk to them? If he doesn't defend himself and clear up alot of the issues that have been overblown won't the school possibly face a more harsh punishment because the NCAA will assume everything is true.

Nobody has to talk to the NCAA. That's why almost ALL of the big CFB scandals center around someone else's investigation, usually a federal case with actual subpoena power.

His eligiblity was their only leverage and he has chosen to give that up.http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/forum/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=1935743

Sounds like NCAA bringing the hammer on him/OSU

That's not what I take away from this announcement.

He was the team leader, and appeared like the ring leader of the Inko Cinco, which eventually lead to Coach Tressel's downfall.

How do you think the atmosphere in the locker room has felt since Memorial Day?

This guy could have been a hero in Ohio for the rest of his life.

Sure won't be the case now.

Unless he was facing a certain full year suspension by the NCAA, I think this action might just villify him in Ohio for quite some time.

Maybe he thinks since JT is no longer here, he is not held by is oath given before the bowl game to come back for his senior year.

I know most of these mistakes he has made were right after his freshman season, and I thought he had lost his prima donna worldview. Apparently not.


So, hey - how about that Braxton Miller! I hear he's really something!
