HUH? Pryor included in NFL draft, must sit out 5 games
Terrelle Pryor will have an opportunity to pursue his NFL dreams, with one significant caveat: The former Ohio State star must still pay for breaking NCAA rules while he was in college.

The league announced Thursday that Pryor is eligible for its supplemental draft, but he won't be allowed to practice for the team that selects him until Week 6. Pryor gave up his final season with the Buckeyes following an investigation into the team's memorabilia-for-cash scandal.

He would've had to sit out five games had he chosen to return to Ohio State.

"We accept that voluntarily," Pryor's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told The Associated Press. "It's a small price to pay for him to have a chance to pursue his dream of playing in the NFL."

1. This Sure Does Raise A Number Of Legal Issues
Are coaches going to be punished also?

It will be interesting to see how the courts rule on this.

2. Why would the courts rule on this?
They are accepting the conditions.

3. This is payback for Pryor using them
to get out of the suspension he was gonna have to serve staying at OSU. That its the same number of games originally doled out that he PROMISED he would do if he played in the Sugar Bowl is not lost on me. Lots of employers in this country are big on having employees that honor commitments..if they don't for another employer, you have to assume they are gonna do it to you.
Pryor brought this on himself, the lying CHEATING douchebag (NFL isn't big on cheaters either I think)
