I've had my doubts about Pryor every since he played a nationally televised game with the name VICK printed under each eye right after Michael Vick got out of prison. I don't think these players did anything that heinous, swapping mementos for tattoos, and the system is antiquated, but I was disappointed in Tressel for trying to cover it up. He tried to save his season and lost his career. If he would have come forward when he was informed of the infractions, as the rules require, he might have lost a couple more games but his reputation as a straight shooter would have been intact.
