Doesn't sound like he's moved on too much. Even if so...man, this bugs me.
Look, I'm fine with TP now, wish him the best in the NFL. As far as I can tell, he screwed up, apologized on national television, and was poised to make it right before the clusterfuck that was the NCAA and Gene Smith ended up forcing him/Tress out.
However, don't play the fucking victim card. YOU broke the rules, YOU caused the school to "kick you out." You weren't booted for excessive community involvement, you were booted for breaking the rules.
To act like he was wronged by the school...unreal.
Thank you! That's what I thought happened. Although I'm sure no-one was shedding any tears over it in the Athletic Dept., I was certain that he left of his own free will, after promising that he would come back the following year, suspension or not. I've been trying to give TP the benefit of the doubt this year,and hope that he does well, but this just sounds like a page out of the MoC playbook. Hopefully he can get it together the way Mo seems to have.I could be wrong here; but as I remember, he was not "kicked out of school (i.e. Ohio State)". He was suspended for 5 games and chose to leave:
Terrelle Pryor exiting OSU amid scandal
Terrelle Pryor's career at Ohio State, which started with so much promise and potential, came to an abrupt and scandal-ridden end.
The Ohio State quarterback announced through his attorney Tuesday that he would not play for the Buckeyes this season. He had already been suspended for the first five games for breaking NCAA rules by accepting improper benefits from the owner of a tattoo parlo
"In the best interests of my teammates, I've made the decision to forgo my senior year of football at The Ohio State University," Pryor said in a statement issued by Columbus lawyer Larry James.

Pryor's announcement comes just eight days after Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel was forced to resign for knowing about the players' improper benefits but not telling any of his superiors.
"He did not want to be a a distraction to his teammates," James said of Pryor. "This is something he came to consider after much thought."
