Terrelle Pryor and four of his Ohio State teammates have been suspended for the first five games of the 2011 football season after an investigation that started with reports that players were trading autographs for tattoos. But all five players will be allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl against Arkansas on January 4.That likely means Pryor, the Buckeyes' starting quarterback, will leave Ohio State and enter the 2011 NFL draft. It's highly unlikely that Pryor would return to school to play half a season, and so the Sugar Bowl will presumably be his final game with the Buckeyes.
The NCAA announced the suspensions on Thursday morning. In addition to Pryor, the suspended players are running back Dan Herron, wide receiver DeVier Posey, offensive lineman Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon Thomas will all be suspended for the first five games of 2011. All will additionally have to make charitable donations in the same amount of the "improper benefits" they received, with amounts ranging from $1,000 to $2,500.
A sixth player, Jordan Whiting, has been suspended for the first game of next year and must pay $150 to a charity for the value of services that were discounted because he's an Ohio State football player.
