Pryor proves NCAA can no longer let schools police themsleves

Terrelle Pryor has helped add further proof that the NCAA needs to change many policies. Pryor was set to be suspended for the first five games of the upcoming season. By leaving school he will not have to serve that suspension or have to answer to the NCAA on any an all violations that he had. The NCAA could have and should have suspended Pryor and the rest of the violating Ohio State players before the Sugar Bowl. I was in the group of people that did want them to play so if the Hogs had won we could have said we beat them at full strength with no excuses. However as a fan of the Hogs I knew it was a risk for the guys to play because they would be able to leave school for the NFL Draft before the season, but they promised their coach and school they would be back and serve the suspension.
 Fast forward six months and Terrelle Pryor and Coach Jim Tressel have both moved on from Ohio State. By going to the NFL both can avoid any punishment from the NCAA. More and more information keeps coming out. The latest is Pryor getting paid to sign memorabilia for large sums of money. The slip up came by payment by check. To find out more about violations just Google Pryor, Tressel or Ohio State.  This OSU debacle is just another proving that the NCAA can no longer allow schools to police themselves. OSU should and most likely will be more severely punished than USC. Its not a matter of when will it happen again but a matter of who will it be. Auburn, I am looking your direction.
