Wow, nice one. You really got 'em there champ. Such creativity can only come from a very stable genius.
November 13th, 2019 at 2:48 PM ^
whoah, maizen has gotten really angry lately.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:40 PM ^
#1, he probably didn't think it was an issue, which is why he didn't bring it up. I mean if he was being that devious, why bring it up during the season at all? Why not do it back in May? Then he has to sit out against FAU and Cincinnati. You guys are acting like he had $100k dropped in his lap to go blow on hookers and cocaine. He borrowed AND PAID BACK money so his girlfriend could fly out to watch him in the Rose Bowl. I'll keep pooping in my cooler though, as long as you guys keep shitting the bed every Saturday after Thanksgiving.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
Sure, getting money from a registered agent is "not an issue"... whatever.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:54 PM ^
So you want to believe he “borrowed” money before the start of his freshman year to play for his girlfriend to go to the Rose Bowl at least 5 months later? Really it just sounds like he was snitched on and came up with an alternate explanation that would appeal to his fan base and satisfy the NCAA that doesn’t drag it out. NCAA enforcement knows they have little power when challenged anymore, so overall most infractions will be punished lightly as long as the violator and school doesn’t fight it. This infraction in the old days would have been loss of eligibility for the college career. Those days are over now.
November 13th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
Not trolling, but you have all of your facts wrong. He didn't borrow the money before his Freshman year, Young is a Junior right now. He knew the guy from before his Freshman year. The money was borrowed before the Rose Bowl last year. And no matter what conspiracy theory you believe, we are talking about such a ridiculously small amount of money that was paid back. This story is much ado about nothing, and a joke he even was suspended for 2 games. Pretty much everybody outside of Michigan agrees, including OSU haters.
November 13th, 2019 at 1:44 PM ^
Receiving improper benefits never used to be a joke. Until OSU made it funny. But you guys are making cheating look easy, so maybe the joke is on us.
November 13th, 2019 at 2:08 PM ^
The joke is that what Chase Young did constitutes an improper benefit. The bigger joke is that you think that constitutes cheating. Cheating, by definition, is to act dishonestly in order to gain an unfair advantage. How exactly did OSU gain an unfair advantage by Chase Young borrowing a small amount of money? I know you want to believe that, to fit some narrative that OSU has to cheat to beat you guys.
November 13th, 2019 at 2:33 PM ^
I don't think you're being honest when you say it's not cheating. I think you just think it's a dumb rule. So do a lot of us.
November 13th, 2019 at 3:30 PM ^
I like you Drew Henson's back up
November 13th, 2019 at 4:41 PM ^
If Extra stretching is cheating, so is this money trick.
November 13th, 2019 at 2:02 PM ^
Yeah "knew the guy"... you mean the NFL AGENT??? So everything is okay with getting money from agents in O$U land?
November 13th, 2019 at 1:13 PM ^
He knew he was breaking rules and only was “honest” about it because it was going to break and he got in front of it.
It’s not a coincidence he will have missed the two weakest opponents and be back JUST in time for PSU and UM.
This was all calculated and bravo I guess for working the system.
November 13th, 2019 at 1:15 PM ^
OSU fans continue to believe the money was repaid, except there was never any proof of this released to the public. OSU is just full of honest people! <eye roll>
November 13th, 2019 at 3:01 PM ^
Kind of like the lender is an NFL certified agent????? That's bandied about here as if there were hardcore proof. It was one, since deleted, report. Not stopping many posters here from going with it.
November 13th, 2019 at 1:32 PM ^
I don't believe this "girlfriend" story for one fucking second. You're telling me they found it necessary, despite the existence of NCAA rules, to funnel money through Chase Young in order to buy her a ticket, rather than to simply, you know, buy her a ticket and not involve the one person who needs to keep his nose clean to stay eligible? Why not just have the agent write the girlfriend a damn check?
That explanation isn't remotely believable.
November 13th, 2019 at 4:30 PM ^
This was the big head scratcher for me. Why not have your parents borrow the money? Or a friend? Something that keeps you, the player, completely clean? Just seems like an unintelligent and unnecessary risk that could be easily avoided
November 13th, 2019 at 11:16 PM ^
I’d really like to see the receipt of Chase Young paying back a few K to an NFL Agent. You really believe everything you hear instead of thinking it through
November 13th, 2019 at 12:35 PM ^
Keeping it a secret over the spring/summer and following season for 9 weeks...isn't being honest. OSU just found out?! Maybe. But most of us with our heads screwed on straight don't but that shit.
November 13th, 2019 at 1:11 PM ^
So let’s assume OSU knew about it in June and possible suspension could be 4 games even though paid back... do you let ncaa know in June so miss the stretch to start season or do it before Maryland where there is a chance could miss Penn St and Michigan? Withholding information by knowing the potential penalty and ramifications doesn’t make sense. Whoever told on him assuming that is how this came about really needs to be better about it because getting a rest vs Maryland and Rutgers doesn’t make sense. Why not wait until after Rutgers so he would miss biggest games if trying to hurt OSU chances.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:38 PM ^
Do you really think you're going to convince anyone to see it your way?
Here is what an OSU fan, that's right, not an internet persona but a real live OSU fan in Columbus, told me when I asked him what he thought happened:
"But if we call it a LOAN... then...it can be paid BACK!!"
November 13th, 2019 at 12:41 PM ^
You don't think the NCAA confirmed it was paid back? In which case, by definition, it was a loan. I'm not the smartest person in the world (being a cooler pooping OSU fan and all), but I know how to look up the definition of a word in the dictionary.
November 13th, 2019 at 1:16 PM ^
you had to look up the word "loan" in the dictionary to know what it means?
November 13th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
Of course it was paid back, I mean rolled over into another loan, once they got caught. If they hadn't been, it would have been paid back out of his first couple of NFL checks. That's how agent loans work.
November 13th, 2019 at 1:56 PM ^
It was a loan if the lender had any intention of expecting it back. That part's in the dictionary too. "Oops we got caught here's your money back" does not make it a loan.
November 13th, 2019 at 2:10 PM ^
You've obviously never taken Urban Meyer's ethics course.
November 13th, 2019 at 3:12 PM ^
That would've been an interesting course if he'd conducted it fully in line with his own personal beliefs. Kind of like a theology course taught by Madalyn Murray O'Hair.
November 14th, 2019 at 2:32 AM ^
Was the class taught in an actual classroom attended by actual students, or was it an "online class" intended for (transfer) quarterbacks?
November 13th, 2019 at 12:42 PM ^
HIS NOT " THE" osu, re-read Herbie's tweet
November 13th, 2019 at 12:45 PM ^
It doesn't take too much integrity to fess up after you're about to be exposed. Chase knew what he did was wrong when he was taking the money from an agent.
November 13th, 2019 at 1:01 PM ^
Those "sources" are people on buckeyeextra who also originally claimed it was to offset the costs for his parents to go to the Rose Bowl, which was then changed to girlfriend when (I assume) someone told them that the NCAA passed a rule a couple of years ago that created a fund to cover family traveling to bowl games.
It was a payment by a future agent. Whether or not OSU's compliance office found out after Wisconsin is perhaps a bit dubious because, well, we have AMPLE history that most major college sports' compliance offices are really good at ignoring problems if told to do so, including OSU's under Urban Meyer.
I honestly don't have any animosity toward Young; he's one of the best players in college football and he should be looking out for himself as much as possible financially. But stop with the "you are all sheeple with your haterade" bullshit because we can see through a fucking shitty smokescreen.
November 13th, 2019 at 2:35 PM ^
That fund is only for the playoffs
November 13th, 2019 at 3:36 PM ^
You are right; I had read somewhere it covered all bowl games but must have referenced CFP bowl games only.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
I thought this was old news? Maybe it's now just officially official.
Anyway, I (and many others) called it. Suspended for the glorified scrimmages, play against PSU/UM.
Then again, they clearly missed Young b/c they let MD score 14 points. /s
November 13th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
His "honesty" in describing an agent as a "family friend"? Sheesh, has the definition of that word ever broadened in the last few years.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:32 PM ^
It was debunked that it was an agent...but if you know so much who was the agent?
November 13th, 2019 at 12:34 PM ^
It's funny seeing OSU honks continually call the person from whom he accepted money a family member when Chase himself said it was a "family friend." A friend is not officially family. I really don't care if players take money, but it's against the rules. Calling this person a "family friend" is a huge stretch. I think it's pretty obvious it was either an agent or OSU booster - someone who happened to become a "family friend" the summer before his freshman year. <eye roll>
November 13th, 2019 at 1:18 PM ^
Being a family friend is worse than a normal friend. It means it's your parents friend. I don't like many of my parents friends nor would I call them my friends. So family friend should be considered worse than a normal friend IMHO.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
Same as Clinton-Dix received for similar. No surprise.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
Couldn't have picked two better games to miss. Have to think about the safety of the kids from Maryland and Rutgers.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:29 PM ^
It's almost like the whole thing was planned from the start...
November 13th, 2019 at 12:37 PM ^
I take back everything bad I've ever said about Gene Smith, then.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:39 PM ^
If running a super successful, morally questionable, football team is your aim you most definitely should. The guy is fucking awesome at it.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:43 PM ^
The dude fired Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer and lived to tell the tale, while materially improving the team both times. Guy basically walks on water.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
He also managed to run an investigation that never bothered to ask Urban why he deleted all the shit off his phone. He's clearly the perfect AD for a modern big time college FB school.
