Terrelle Pryor punished by NFL for not breaking enough rules


Terrelle Pryor punished by NFL for not breaking enough rules : Columbus, Ohio let’s not confuse the issue, the NFL's decision to allow the complementary nature Terre Pryor, but the five-week suspension earlier this season. NFL does not punish Pryor violate the rules. League Pryor enough to punish the violation, the additional project is almost by definition, the project rule breaker. Get expelled from school, no school will lose eligibility to take money from an agent, the NCAA to end his career - to do anything after that period January to declare the project regularly and take the championship. But there is debate; the League will send a message with the decision Pryor. Only the message "Do not mess with the NFL." Some already are saying that the NFL policing NCAA rule breakers would provide a great deterrent for college players. Mess up in college and it will stay with you. Some are already saying that the NFL is overstepping bounds by trying to do that, now taking away the livelihood of players who are already playing for free in college. Each of these shots are reasonable. It is not what is happening here. The NFL has no problem taking rule breakers. Just do not want college players to play with the system. This is what the league thinks Pryor tried to do, because Pryor has not been shown to have violated the rules fairly, or at least not been shown to have done before State. It Ohio makes it clear that their situation has changed. Jim Tressel has been removed. Pryor commit to return to Ohio State, Tressel to sign to play in the Sugar Bowl, went out the window. New coach Luke Fickel did not return calls for Pryor. It was obvious he was no longer wanted at his school, and leaving made sense. And he was in a much different place than he was in January. To think Pryor was gaming the system is silly. He would have had to be an evil genius to pull that off. And to worry about setting precedent how could anyone match that situation? If Fickell, while at a Taylor Swift concert, had picked up when Pryor called and yelled, "You're kicked off the team," into the phone and hung up, Pryor would have been fine. Instead, he ignored Pryor attempts to contact him. I understand completely what Fickel did and why he did it. It was best for the team. But certainly complicated matters Now, Pryor and his lawyers in recent days, had to go to prove how badly Pryor did. Is not it ridiculous that a precedent would prevent the NFL? The worst thing you've done the best you? Pryor should have been authorized and should have been allowed in a long time ago. NFL can do what he will do, and it should not have taken so long. But here's an idea: Do away with the supplemental draft. If you're a college kid who runs into trouble after the regular draft, you wait. Get a coach. Hit the gym. Work on your technique. Watch some movies. Eat your vegetables. And wait. The NFL wouldn't be preventing anyone from making a living. The league would just be delaying it. And not have to worry about the players of the game system would not be a gaming system. I can understand not wanting to reward players who do evil, but leave them in the league that way. But this is the real reason for the proposed add-on that currently exists. So dump. Or the next time a player reaches the status of Pryor, no wait that long. It was a rule breaker, as players in the draft complement almost always.
