Ban is over today. Still don't really understand why he was the only person from the whole thing banned, and 5 years seems unnecessarily harsh even if you do support the ban, but anyway glad it's over and I hope the university does something to welcome him back and celebrate what he did on the field.

I am actually shocked that the ncaa has the authority to ban someone from campus. Banning them from participating in a practice or being around it, or even being at the stadium when they are still on the team, or making them ineligible for play all together, but banning a player that is no longer on the team from going to a game seems like quite an overreach.

Five Years Later, A Lot is Different About Terrelle Pryor
Terrelle Pryor left Ohio State for the NFL Supplemental Draft before the 2011 season as a disgraced quarterback who helped bring his Buckeye program crashing down. At Saturday's practice for the Cleveland Browns in Ohio Stadium, when Pryor returns to the Horseshoe for the second time since his unceremonious departure, he will be rather different.
One major change is Pryor’s position. After being unable to latch on in the NFL as a quarterback, Pryor embraced a change to wide receiver, something likely more suitable for his unique skillset at the professional level.
He is also allowed to be associated with Ohio State again.
Following Tattoo Gate, where Pryor and some of his teammates sold memorabilia for profit when still under the umbrella of the NCAA, the quarterback was given a five-year ban from the program. That ban ended last week.
"It's over, it's great," OSU athletic director Gene Smith told Cleveland.com on July 26. "He'd be welcomed back with open arms. He's a grown man now."
This is what Pryor hoped to hear.
“I’m going to finish school,” Pryor said in an interview with 92.3 The Fan out of Cleveland. “I want to get my degree and finish that. I need to be a role model for my son.”
That is not all Pryor plans to do with his freedom to return to Ohio State. Despite the way things ended, Pryor still wants to be involved with the university and the football program, one he still cherishes.
Pryor has accepted a new role in the NFL as a WR.
“I’m a Buckeye,” Pryor told Daryl Ruiter of CBS Cleveland. “I fell in love with being there. Awesome campus, awesome colors, we had an awesome coach in Jim Tressel and the fans were out of this world.
“I’m not only going to go back to the campus and be in the football facility but I want to raise money somehow and get a scholarship going,” Pryor said. “I’m going to try to make a scholarship fund where I give a scholarship every year to Ohio State. It’s something I want to do.
“They gave me a lot so I want to give back.”

Read the whole article, sounds like he is a "changed man" (for the better).

That's certainly one way to look at it...but I'd say the professional who was paid millions of dollars with the responsibility of following NCAA rules should shoulder most of the blame for the demise of his own coaching career.
