Just Buried myself

A few years ago Michigan and Ohio State fans were on the edge of their seats to see where the All-World Terrelle Pryor was going to go to College. He chose Ohio State over Michigan after many had thought he would be a Wolverine. The drama leading up to his decision was indicating that he wanted to be in Ann Arbor, fools gold basically. Man with hindsight being 20/20 Michigan dodged a bullet there. Terrelle Pryor has been in the news for the last 6 or 7 months and not about whether he is going pro or not but all about allegations about receiving improper benefits, selling memorabilia, and receiving money for autographs. All of which supposedly was known by former Head coach Jim Tressel, who resigned last month because of all the heat the program and himself was receiving, much to the dismay of the team and Buckeye community.

Some college players and even pro players feel a since of entitlement and feel they are above the team and even the sport itself. So they do things here and there and feel it will leave no traces. they hang around the wrong crowed and get dollar signs in their eyes, all of which leads to them hurting their families, teammates and coaches. Pryor was suspended for the first five games of this upcoming season, but was still under investigation on a lot of other allegations. When coach Tressel resigned it was a lot of backlash towards Pryor and that led him to decide not to return to school and try to become a pro player. Whether it's NFL, CFL, or UFL, who knows but one thing we all know is that if we have gone to Michigan this would have never happen. Maybe, he would have gotten the right guidance and not just use for his talents. Maybe they would have gave a great support system and have him focus on his academics and life after football. Or, Maybe he is a knucklehead and would have been this type of guy where ever he landed. Who knows?
