Pryor one of five Buckeyes who must sit out 5 games
This just in from the NCAA:
NCAA REQUIRES LOSS OF CONTESTS FOR SIX OHIO STATE FOOTBALL STUDENT-ATHLETES
INDIANAPOLIS—- Five football student-athletes from The Ohio State University must sit out the first five games of the 2011 season for selling awards, gifts and university apparel and receiving improper benefits in 2009, the NCAA has determined.
A sixth football student-athlete must sit out the first game in 2011 for receiving discounted services in violation of NCAA rules.
The violations fall under the NCAA’s preferential treatment bylaws.
In addition to missing five games next season, student-athletes Mike Adams, Daniel Herron, Devier Posey, Terrelle Pryor and Solomon Thomas must repay money and benefits ranging in value from $1,000 to $2,500. The repayments must be made to a charity.
Student-athlete Jordan Whiting must sit out the first game next year and pay $150 to a charity for the value of services that were discounted because of his status as a student-athlete.
“These are significant penalties based on findings and information provided by the university,” said Kevin Lennon, NCAA vice president of academic and membership affairs.
The decision from the NCAA student-athlete reinstatement staff does not include a withholding condition for the Allstate Sugar Bowl. The withholding condition was suspended and the student-athletes will be eligible to play in the bowl game Jan. 4 based on several factors.
These include the acknowledgment the student-athletes did not receive adequate rules education during the time period the violations occurred, Lennon said.
NCAA policy allows suspending withholding penalties for a championship or bowl game if it was reasonable at the time the student-athletes were not aware they were committing violations, along with considering the specific circumstances of each situation. In addition, there must not be any competitive advantage related to the violations, and the student-athletes must have eligibility remaining.
The policy for suspending withholding conditions for bowl games or NCAA championship competition recognizes the unique opportunity these events provide at the end of a season, and they are evaluated differently from a withholding perspective. In this instance, the facts are consistent with the established policy, Lennon said.
Gene Smith, associate vice president and director of athletics at Ohio State, said the university will “further enhance” its rules education in the future based on this situation.
“We were not as explicit with our student-athlete education as we should have been in the 2007-08 and 2008-09 academic years regarding the sale of apparel, awards and gifts issued by the athletics department,” Smith said. “We began to significantly improve our education in November of 2009 to address these issues. After going through this experience, we will further enhance our education for all our student-athletes as we move forward.”
The standard withholding condition in cases like these involving the five student-athletes is four games, or 30 percent of a season. A fifth game was added to the penalty because these student-athletes did not immediately disclose the violations when presented with the appropriate rules education, Lennon said.
“Once a student-athlete understands a violation has occurred, they must immediately come forward to report it,” he said. “That did not happen, so the additional one-game penalty was imposed.”
The university declared the student-athletes ineligible on Monday (Dec. 20) and requested reinstatement from the NCAA.
As part of their reinstatement, Adams must repay $1,000 for selling his 2008 Big Ten championship ring and Herron must repay $1,150 for selling his football jersey, pants and shoes for $1,000 and receiving discounted services worth $150.
Posey must repay $1,250 for selling his 2008 Big Ten championship ring for $1,200 and receiving discounted services worth $50, while Pryor must repay $2,500 for selling his 2008 Big Ten championship ring, a 2009 Fiesta Bowl sportsmanship award and his 2008 Gold Pants, a gift from the university.
Solomon must repay $1,505 for selling his 2008 Big Ten championship ring for $1,000, his 2008 Gold Pants for $350 and receiving discounted services worth $155.
During the reinstatement process, each case is evaluated based on the specific facts of the particular case by NCAA staff. Prior to reaching a decision, staff considers any guidelines
established by the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement, a student-athlete’s responsibility for the violation, as well as any mitigating factors presented by the institution.
The university can appeal the decision to the Division I NCAA Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement, an independent committee comprised of representatives from NCAA member colleges, universities and athletic conferences. This committee can reduce or remove the condition, but it cannot increase the staff-imposed conditions.
Reinstatement decisions are independent of the NCAA enforcement process and typically are made once the facts of the student-athlete’s involvement are determined. The reinstatement process is likely to conclude prior to the close of an enforcement investigation. It is NCAA policy not to comment on current, pending or potential investigations.

So these JUNIORS (Who dont turn Pro next year), will have to sit out the fluff part of the OSU schedule…wow, tough penalty!. Maybe making them sit out the BOWL GAME this year for conduct LAST YEAR might be more appropriate?

I thought the NCAA was ticky-tack before reading this story, and this just reinforces that. Rule or not, I don’t understand why a player cannot sell a ring or award he EARNED — it belongs to him, doesn’t it? I mean, it is not on loan or actually university or alumni property, correct? How is it that Cam Newton can steal a laptop, throw it out a window to avoid detection, and then not miss a game, go on to win the Hesiman and play for NC . . but Ohio State players get several game suspensions for selling their own property. NCAA is a joke.

What everyone on here is overlooking is the larger issue that the NCAA hasn’t adjusted the money allocation to the student athlete. The top 20 college football programs alone for 2010 generated over 1 BILLION in revenue. Yet, we are going to scream over a kid selling some of his memorabillia for 1K? Whats wrong with this picture…

Too say they are suspended for the first 5 games of ’11 but not for the Sugar Bowl further validates everyone’s belief that the NCAA is all about the big cash grab and they don’t want to hurt the lucrative Sugar Bowl ratings at the expense of fairness. No matter whether you think this is fair or not—if they are to be punished it should start immediately and not make some feeble excuse that they weren’t given proper instruction by The Ohio State. BS BS BS I am glad they will play in the bowl because it will be a better game but the way the NCAA hands out punishment is laughable. Will Ohio State coaches and athletic admin be suspended as well or even longer since the NCAA found them to blame for the athletes being uninformed? It’s past time for the power conferences to bolt the NCAA and form their own coalition. I can’t say it enough BS BS BS………..

I think the sad thing is the fact they sold their rings and gold pants here. what a slap in the face to their teammates, coaches, alumni and fans. goes to show where their priorities are. If you think Pryor sold this stuff for his family your naive as hell. he used it for his tattos and who knows what else. He has embarrassed the university once again with his behavior.

This is Christmas but I’ll say this anyway - those of you who chastise the players for selling stuff and pontificate about integrity - are IDIOTS. These athletes are not at OSU to be students. They are there because they can play football on a ultra successful program and get drafted by an NFL team. That’s their career path and the NCAA and OSU know this. The university profits from this with alumni contributions and by selling their sacred “Buckeye” stuff. There is zero integrity on the university’s part. This is huge business but a business that doesn’t allow the workers to profit.

More violations by the players in the Tressel program. Add 5 more to the long list. How many more times do players have to get caught for violations before the NCAA takes a real look at the entire program. This is just more evidence of lack of institutional control. It’s embarrassing. I guess as long as Tressel keeps beating Michigan, everything else gets overlooked. Hopefully someone will figure out the Michigan is awful, beating them doesn’t mean much, Tressel chokes in bowl games, and the program is dirty.

Meanwhile, the 2010 Heisman Trophy winner spent much of the second half of the 2010 football season embroiled in a controversy regarding allegations that his father, Cecil Newton, had sought substantial sums of money in return for his son playing for a major-college team, in violation of NCAA rules. And previous to this, he was arrested for allegedly purchasing a stolen laptop from a student while at the University of Florida. He was subsequently suspended by the team after the laptop was in fact found to be in his possession back in 2008. Go figure.

Having played at the collegiate level, I can tell you that it is drilled into these students heads from Freshman Orientation, and throughout the year, what is, and is not, acceptable and violations of NCAA rules. The only time the Coach or AD should be held responsible is if they didnt formally advise the students, or if they KNEW they were violating the rules. The students are adults. They should be held responsible for making the wrong decisions. As for selling memorabilia etc. They are representing the UNIVERSITY, and the NCAA. SELLING or Profiting off of their signature or property while playing for the college is a serious violation. What is being ignored here is that while the University benefits from the players abilities on the field, the players benefit by the opportunities that the college provides them, in many cases, free of charge for their service to the team. It is a trade off. Both sides have obligations. The players know that coming in. These players chose to ignore that responsibility and now they, and the college will pay the price.

@Gem and heater: Obviously my argument makes sense, because the NCAA ruled exactley as they should have. The Rings/pants or any OSU apparel that they signed or can be attributed to them in the capacity as a player, while bound by the college program, makes them fall under NCAA rules. The sad fact is they knowingly disregarded those rules. Now they are punished. you need to step back and look at this logically, sans passion. The rules are in place for a reason. BTW, I played in the 80’s, at a now Big 10 School…PSU.
