IDK, but the whole thing is stupid. Tressel shouldn't have lied, but this whole thing is getting blown way out of proportion.
Pryor sells his TV for $300 = okay
Pryor sells a high school jersey for $300 = okay
Pryor sells "gold pants" award for $300 = Major NCAA infraction
???
Whether these kids sell this stuff is their prerogative as far as I'm concerned. Guys who sell their college awards for tats or cash are going to regret that when their playing days are over and they have an empty trophy case in their den. It might be a misguided choice, but it is their choice to make.
The NCAA needs to butt the hell out of this stuff. You've got SEC schools paying kids several hundred grand to come to their school and handing out cash like it's candy, and yet the NCAA doesn't do jack. Players at SEC schools are racking up felonies and misdemeanors like it's there job, and the NCAA doesn't do jack.
Meanwhile, an agent pays a player to leave USC early (i.e., a detriment to the program) and without any concrete proof that the school even knew about it, the NCAA nukes the program. Tressel basically shrugs his shoulders when his kids trade some trophies for tats and the NCAA is licking it's chops.
The NCAA's priorities are so out of line that I can't even take them seriously anymore. You suck, NCAA.
