Pryor

Terrelle Pryor may have turned down an offer from the Canadian Football League a little prematurely.

FOXSports.com is reporting that Pryor might not be eligible for the NFL's supplemental draft, should the league have one. The NFL has yet to set a date for the event.

According to the story, Pryor might not qualify for the supplemental draft because he voluntarily left school to turn pro.

"If there are no players eligible for a supplemental draft, there is no supplemental draft," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wrote in an email to FOXSports.com on Sunday. "It is for players whose circumstances have changed in an unforeseen way after the regular (college) draft. It is not a mechanism for simply bypassing the regular (draft)."

Aiello cited examples of "unforeseen" changes as players who were kicked off their college teams, declared academically ineligible or graduated and then decided to leave school. Pryor doesn't qualify on any of those fronts.

Swofford

John Swofford isn't immune to criticism about the Atlantic Coast Conference.

As much as Swofford, the ACC commissioner, would like to, he hasn't been sticking his head in the sand while the rest of the world points out the fallings of his conference against major opponents and in BCS games. He knows that's the chink in his conference's armor and until it starts winning some of its big games more consistently, he conference will never be mentioned in the same breath as most of his "big six" brethren.

"Obviously, we need to win more of our high-profile games against non-conference opponents," Swofford said during his media session Sunday. "That's the one thing we haven't done enough of in recent years. We've had some of it, but not enough of it. For us to gain the kind of respect we want for Atlantic Coast Conference football, those are the kind of games we need to win going forward."

The last time an ACC team beat an opponent that finished the year ranked in the top 10 was

The least you should know about the 2011 Hokies. Part of ACC Week.

• Tapping on that glass ceiling. It's hard to complain about Virginia Tech. The Hokies have won at least 10 games in each of the last seven seasons, won three of the past four ACC championships and have basically been ole' reliable when it comes to leading the conference.

So why are we not impressed?

It's all well and good that Virginia Tech has had its way with a weak ACC, especially in recent years, but there's got to be something bigger for the Hokies; a greater goal, and they're not achieving it. Since joining the ACC, Virginia Tech has played in four BCS bowl games, but not one of those games has been the national championship. Since 2004, the Hokies haven't finished the season ranked higher than seventh (2005) and most of the time it's fallen out of the top 10. Still, Virginia Tech remains the team to beat in the ACC and if the Hokies win the ACC, its fans will be pleased. But will they be satisfied?

The least you should know about the 2011 Wolfpack. Part of ACC Week.

• You're on, kid. Russell Wilson is out, Mike Glennon is in and all eyes are on Tom O'Brien to see if he made the right call.

Wilson wanted to return to N.C. State for his final season of eligibility, but he also wanted to spend the spring and summer playing baseball with the Colorado Rockies organization. O'Brien wasn't having it, so Wilson took his talents to Madison, Wisc., opening the door for junior Mike Glennon to lead the Wolfpack to the Promised Land.

Glennon will definitely have big shoes to fill since many consider Wilson one of the best quarterbacks to ever wear a Wolfpack uniform. And Glennon didn't exactly wow fans during the Kay Yow Spring Football Game. He completed 21 of his 40 passes for 182 yards, but he also had two passes tipped at the line of scrimmage that resulted in interceptions -- one for a touchdown. According to the spring game wrapup on the team website, the first six of Glennon's passes

Toomers

Walmart better start stocking up on toilet paper, because the Toomer's trees are ready for football.

Auburn University officials announced Thursday that they would allow the traditional rolling of the trees this fall even though the prognosis regarding the survival of the poisoned trees remains grim.

After months of reviewing options and obtaining input from the campus, the community and the team of horticultural, agronomy and soils, and forestry experts working to save the trees,  Auburn University and the city will allow the tradition of rolling Toomer's Corner to continue, at least temporarily, this fall. At the recommendation of our experts, the university will no longer use high pressure hoses to clean the trees; they will be cleaned by hand.

Many alternatives were carefully considered, including suspending the tradition or moving it elsewhere. Most of these options created new or additional concerns related to crowd control, traffic, safety issues for our fans and opposing

The least you should know about the 2011 Tar Heels. Part of ACC Week.

• Stepping out of the NCAA shadow. For the second consecutive season, UNC will play under a cloud of NCAA uncertainty. Last month, the school received a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA outlining several "potential major violations" in the football program, including a failure to monitor the conduct of former and current players, and the unethical practices of a former coach.

The school still has to answer the allegations and won't actually go before the NCAA's infractions committee in Indianapolis until Oct. 28 -- the day before the team is scheduled to play Wake Forest. In the meantime, the Tar Heels need to keep their heads in the game and not let their season be derailed by this potential scandal.

But this isn't new territory for North Carolina. The Tar Heels went through something similar a year ago when it had to suspend 13 players for its opener against LSU. As the year trekked on, players were either

Former USC receiver Mike Williams is a little late to the Marc Tyler "What the heck were you thinking?" party, but that didn't stop him from giving his two cents on Tyler's interview with tabloid TMZ that landed the Trojans running back at least a one-game suspension.

Williams took to Twitter Thursday afternoon and dished out a five-tweet rant calling out his fellow Trojan and praising Lane Kiffin's education in media relations.

Williams went on to say that he was "only goin off on the kid bc I kno coach Kiffin and the staff have hit home on how to handle the media w/ the team..."

Williams didn't exactly make some of the best choices during his time at USC, including the choice to hire an agent after his sophomore season (though at the time, what he did was probably the right move), but he was never a troublemaker. He was a star, like Tyler claims to be, only Williams acted like it. Williams wasn't that guy who was making headlines by doing the wrong things off the field.

Four Kent State players leave this afternoon for an unlikely journey to help their season-opening opponent.

Quarterback Spencer Keith, defensive tackle Ishmaa'ily Kitchen, defensive end Lee Stalker and running back Jacquise Terry will arrive in Tuscaloosa, Ala., tonight to aid Habitat for Humanity in rebuilding homes for those lost during the tornado in April.

"I thought it was a really good idea to help them out in a time of need," Keith said. "I know the tornado really devastated a lot of people there. I'm from about six hours away in Arkansas and I can kind of tell what they're going through because we had some tornadoes back in April."

The idea to make the trip was kicked around earlier this summer by Kent State athletic director Joel Nielsen, Gregg Floyd, the vice president for finance and administration, and Dave Ruller, the Kent city manager, after seeing the devastation in Tuscaloosa and knowing that they would be making the trip there for the season opener on Sept. 3.
