I’m trying to think of a way Terrelle Pryor can make himself more appealing to the NFL than just periodically admitting to infractions he committed while at Ohio State.
Nope, can’t do it. He’s got a plan that sounds good to me. I’m sure Mike Brown is interested.
Which brings us to Paul Dee, a guy Pryor could have played for since Dee wouldn’t have known he was doing anything wrong.
Dee was athletics director at the University of Miami from 1993-2008, which includes the 2002-10 years that booster Nevin Shapiro was lavishing coin, women and gifts on Miami football players. Dee not only was honoring Shapiro for his largesse to the university, but allowing him at least twice to lead the team onto the field prior to a game.
Of course, I believe Dee didn’t know Shapiro was a bad guy — “He didn’t do anything to cause concern,” Dee told the Palm Beach Post. Except now Dee has a problem.
Dee became head of the NCAA committee on infractions after he left Miami. In that capacity last year he helped lop 30 scholarships and a couple of bowl games from USC in the Reggie Bush/O.J. Mayo infractions imbroglio.
“High-profile athletes demand high-profile compliance,” Dee said at the time while USC officials kept saying they knew nothing about infractions under their watch.
Dee might want to hire a lawyer, or Pryor, to help him start remembering stuff.
