You presume that Pryor will graduate from OSU. I would place great doubt on that happening. I haven't seen statistics in several years, but in 2007 Ohio State was graduating less than 30% of it's black football players. And, that comes for JBHE (Journal for Blacks in Higher Education).

Incidentally, my alma mater is on that list, very near the top. We can do better, but we do FAR better than most.
