COLUMBUS, Ohio — Terrelle Pryor isn’t interested in playing in the Canadian Football League. He’s also not interested in speaking to the NCAA.

The former Ohio State quarterback announced Tuesday he would not return to Ohio State for his senior season in the wake of an NCAA suspension and ongoing investigation. The Saskatchewan Roughriders own the CFL negotiating rights to Pryor and had extended him a tentative offer.

“They sent the package last night, I forwarded it to Terrelle and Terrelle said that he wasn’t interested today,” Pryor’s attorney, Larry James, said today.

James also said that Pryor will no longer cooperate with NCAA investigators looking into Ohio State’s football program, ex-players and current players.

“He doesn’t need a reason (to talk to them). He’s no longer a student-athlete,” said James, who added that Pryor doesn’t feel he owes the NCAA any answers. “They’re not going to give him or any other student-athlete any due process rights to speak of, so he’s moved on.”

He could still apply to enter a special NFL supplemental draft later this summer.

Pryor was one of five Ohio State players suspended last December for the first five games of the 2011 season for accepting improper benefits from a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner.
