from what I can tell, the NCAA operates much like a large government = ineffective. (remind me again why people think government run health care is a good idea?)

i don't know if its legal, but it's definitely wrong. 350 bucks for an autographed wrist band that a high school kid used?

 

[MirageSmack]

I'm guessing he can do it because he's in high school, but that sure isn't how you want to start your college career. Notice it says he may attend UM or Oregon, and no mention of OSU.

 

[SoCalDomer]

he may just want Oregon or UM people to bid on it, that way he's not accepting money from OSU fans.

Yah, just imagine some *cough*BOOSTER*cough* with deep pockets hatches a scheme to get the kid paid. "Oh heh throw your jock up on ebay and someone will surely buy it for $500K !"

Yeah, he's not enrolled in a college so the NCAA has nothing to say about it. Also, his high school career is over so the state of Pennsylvania can't do anything either. Interesting loophole, I'm surprised that more kids don't make some book money this way.

Actually, now that I think of it, if Pryor gets any of this money, he'd be considered a "professional" athlete which would put his college career in jeopardy. I have to assume that he's going to claim that he gave the wristbands away for free to a friend who then sold them on EBay.

Terrelle Pryor is not involved with the seller of this wrist band. This story was covered in ESPN The Magazine recently. The guy selling the wrist band has a history of hocking high school "memorabilia" on eBay and other places for huge sums of cash. IIRC, Pryor said he didn't like it but can't really stop it, either.

Another day on the Internet, another conspiracy theory...
