Whither Terrelle Pryor?
That leaves Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State in the running for the alleged superman at quarterback. He is supposedly going to say what school it will be for all things Pryor tomorrow, and in the usual sign of the times:
"ESPNU and CSTV plan to carry Pryor's decision live. Sports Illustrated, the Washington Post and newspaper reporters from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan also plan to attend. Although Pryor said he is not totally sure he will announce his choice tomorrow, Jeannette school officials are proceeding with plans to have a news conference. Jeannette principal Stu Albaugh said only media members and Pryor's invited guests will be permitted to attend the event. The public will not be allowed in the school.
Here is where the observer would ordinarily say something caustic about the priorities of education nowadays, but that won't come from me. If Pryor is as good as he is supposed to be, his future is not going to be behind a desk like normal people. And his earning potential is going to dwarf normal people as well. So, cameras it is, then. And normal people will not avoid work while posting on blogs in front of 100,000 spectators either. So, yeah, cameras for his decision.
