husker_99 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Whether you agree or not or you even like pro football, there is something that isn't right with commish handing out suspensions that Pryor or Tressel weren't even apart of the NFL. That's like your new job punishing you because of your old job because you didn't receive enough punishment. I don't even know how he is getting away with this and luckily Pryor is fighting back. I just don't understand how he can punish people who weren't even employees of the NFL at the time of the infraction? Quote Link to comment
HuskerCarter Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I dont have a problem with it. To me, Pryor is trying to circumvent his wrong doings at OSU by going to the NFL. I think Goodell is making an example of him and sending a message that you can't run away from your mistakes. Pryor needs to grow up, learn from his mistake, swallow his pride and accept his suspension. Quote Link to comment

He already lost his job, it's not like he left willingly to avoid penalty. Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I haven't heard anything about this, but what I am taking of it, I don't agree at all. If anything, they shouldn't have been allowed to be hired, but once they were, all bets off. You allowed them in, if they didn't do anything, then nothing should happen. Quote Link to comment

It's not the NFL's commish job to play daddy. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I have a BIG problem with the commissioner of the NFL enforcing suspensions for the NCAA. That sets a terrible precedent. Quote Link to comment

jsneb83 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Tressell suspended himself. The commish had nothing to do with his suspension. Quote Link to comment
husker_99 Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Tressell suspended himself. The commish had nothing to do with his suspension. and if Tressel hadn't i would guarantee you the commish would've suspended him. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Everything Goodell does is for publicity. Every. Single. Thing. This *ONLY* happened because it was such a high profile case. Quote Link to comment
Malth Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I can't say I have much of an issue with it. You have players and coaches who just jet to the NFL and start making bank in place of suffering any real consequences from the NCAA, while the school they were at gets to deal with years of sanctions.

HeyBurke Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Roger Goodell didn't suspend Pryor because of any NCAA rules that he broke. Goodell suspended him because Pryor intentionally side-stepped the draft rules in order to make it into the NFL. Quote Link to comment
Notre Dame Joe Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Conspiracy theory; NFL wants to keep Univerisities happy as colleges provide the minor leagues at no cost to the pros. Not mine, you probably heard it a long time ago. Quote Link to comment
