Terrelle Pryor has released a statement through his attorney stating that he’s done at Ohio State.

Several days ago he was pushing back on reports that he was using cars improperly through his attorney, but now he’s ending his career. It makes you wonder what else Ohio State and the NCAA has discovered during their investigation.

Last night I wrote about the absurdity of taking away championships and wins from schools like USC after the fact. Here, Pryor was suspended and was facing the potential for more penalties, and it’s appropriate to punish players going forward for their actions. It’s not appropriate to look back and punish his teammates who earned their victories on the field. Instead, as I argued last night, the school should be punished by forfeiting bowl money and TV money. It’s all about the money these days anyways . . .

UPDATE: More dirt is coming out about Pryor, with allegations being reported by ESPN that Pryor made tens of thousands of dollars signing memorabilia.

UPDATE 2: This story is going to get ugly for Ohio State. Brooks is reporting even more details about Pryor and the money he was making selling stuff.
