Ummmmm, nothing really to say--
What started out as a trip to a Columbus tattoo parlor by a couple of football players has created all sorts of mayhem for star quarterback Terrelle Pryor and Ohio State.
Pryor and four teammates were suspended Thursday by the NCAA for the first five games of next season for selling championship rings, jerseys and awards. They also received improper benefits—from up to two years ago—from the tattoo parlor and its owner.

“I learned more about tattoos than I ever really want to possibly know,” athletic director Gene Smith said. “As a student-athlete, you’re not allowed to use your persona to get discounted services.”
The NCAA said all can still play in the Sugar Bowl against Arkansas on Jan. 4. Ohio State’s first five games next season are against Akron, Toledo, Miami, Colorado and Michigan State. Ohio State plans to appeal, hoping the number of games might be reduced.
The article went on to say they were allowed to play the bowl game because they hadn't received the proper education about the consequences of these actions.
The SMART era CONTINUES!!!!!!
