If Pryor entered the supplemental draft would you pick him.

That like saying not wanting to arrest a criminal in Texas for a crime committed in Arizona. "Well he broke laws before he got to Texas and didn't break laws in Texas so we are not going to arrest him and extradite him."
This is the same situation. College players continue to break serious rules over and over again because they can leave college ball for NFL and not suffer any punishment. What kind of message does that send to the young elite high school players being heavily recruited by college teams?
You want NFL players that are good citizens, it starts before they get here. The college system and the NFL work hand in hand and needs creative changes. This is an attempt to hold the players accountable. I like it. It iwll make players think twice before going with the flow of rule breaking..
This cost Pryor millions of dollars.

Thats the way it used to work in the US, if one could get to the state line before being caught you were off the hook. Thats how Bonnie & Clyde did it. As you know, the laws have now changed. I dont see the NFL and college as 2 equal states, I see them as different countries. I am not subject to French laws living here in the US and I dont think college players are subject to NFL rules when they arent in the NFL. The NFL doesnt have jurisdiction in college.
