You're probably 12 years old.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:48 PM ^
He's probably a fat 50 year old OSU fan.
Have you reported this guy yet?
November 13th, 2019 at 1:09 PM ^
Fat 60 year old
November 13th, 2019 at 1:22 PM ^
I don't know how, but someone placed this idiot in a mod thread, whatever that is.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:47 PM ^
THIS is how you choose to spend your work break at McDonald's?
November 13th, 2019 at 1:48 PM ^
Don't you mean Mr.Plow.
November 13th, 2019 at 2:05 PM ^
no I eat Big Macs on break
November 13th, 2019 at 12:43 PM ^
Wait, so which is it? He broke the rules or he didn't? If you're so adamant he followed the rules shouldn't you be OUTRAGED the NCAA is unfairly punishing your player? Or maybe you're content with the fact that he broke the rules, was given a "punishment" the equivalent of two bye weeks, and now gets to play in the only games OSU has had against real teams all year. In which case you're proud that your player cheated and admitted it during the most beneficial time for himself
November 13th, 2019 at 12:39 PM ^
The worst part is once again there is zero transparency. Which IMO is telling. If everything is on the up and up, wouldn’t the details come out?
- Who is the individual that loaned him the money?
- Did Chase have a relationship with this individual prior to the start of his recruitment by OSU in 2015?
- How much was loaned?
- How did OSU find out about the loan?
- Why did this individual give Chase the money, rather than book the flight for his girlfriend directly?
these are very simple questions and based on the suspension being only two games, there must be logical explanations for each question. If that is the case, why not let the details be known?
November 13th, 2019 at 12:41 PM ^
All valid points, but unfortunately we'll never know because OSU is corrupt beyond belief. It doesn't help that OSU football is the darling child of the Big Ten people in charge.
November 13th, 2019 at 1:34 PM ^
It's not just OSU, or even really OSU's problem. Their AD plays by the unwritten rules of modern college football under the NCAA.
It's totally rational for OSU to behave like they do. It's the NCAA's fault that this is the system that they've created.
November 15th, 2019 at 4:44 AM ^
Are they not limited on student athlete info that they are allowed to disclose?
Are student athletes allowed to take out student loans?
November 13th, 2019 at 12:39 PM ^
WELCOME TO YOUR NEXT ASS BEATING ON NOV 30
November 13th, 2019 at 12:41 PM ^
Mods need to delete this guy (again).
November 13th, 2019 at 12:39 PM ^
What a surprise! I'm flabbergasted!
November 13th, 2019 at 12:39 PM ^
Nice...he gets 2 weeks to rest up for the tough end of the season and post season.
OSU fans should never complain about the NCAA.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:41 PM ^
If the "family friend" gave him the money for his GF to travel to the Rose Bowl, why didn't the friend just give her the money or just buy her ticket? Believe what you want, but while it can't be proven, leads one to think something more is/was at hand.
November 13th, 2019 at 1:45 PM ^
Bingo - this was my initial thought as well. Chase should have known that accepting that money could get him in trouble, so just have the "friend" buy the ticket for his girlfriend, or send her the money directly. The fact that it went to Chase first for him to then use as he saw fit is what makes this sound even worse.
That said I'm not the slightest bit surprised that his suspension is only 2 games.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:41 PM ^
Michigan fans get what they deserve
November 13th, 2019 at 12:43 PM ^
Just like Zach Smith's wife... right? Fucking loser.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
Where did Urban go? He was doing so well, I wonder why he left
November 13th, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
For not cheating?
November 13th, 2019 at 12:45 PM ^
We seriously need a mod to delete this fucking pathetic piece of shit.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:43 PM ^
No one saw this coming, nope, not at all, ever!
November 13th, 2019 at 12:43 PM ^
Of course it was; this happened almost a year ago and they are just dealing with it now. This was always the plan.
As always, pay players above the table and a lot of this goes away. It also gives schools like Michigan, with massive pockets and successful alumni, a chance to flex their muscles. Yes, OSU is a large state schools with resources, but they have an endowment of $5.2B; Michigan's is $12B. Alabama and Clemson don't even crack $1B. Obviously those are not athletic-specific amounts, but it still shows a school capable of tapping various monetary sources. And I'm sure Michigan's "close family friends" are at least as rich and powerful as whatever OSU's are.
November 13th, 2019 at 5:02 PM ^
While I agree with the fact UM has more money floating around among alumni, it only takes one really rich alumni. Can't Dan Gilbert just give someone $10MM/25MM a year to manage to help pull athletes to MSU? Or more? It's not going to be an uncapped bidding war. It won't make sense to have endorsements that total hundreds of millions of dollars across any one school's athletic department. I imagine a lot of schools will have that one rich alumni who is willing to pay for above the board endorsements.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:43 PM ^
That sounds about correct for the offense, and I can't wait for The Game.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:43 PM ^
This seems reasonable and consistent with how the NCAA has handled similar situations.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:45 PM ^
Right, like how they banned Terelle Pryor from college football and vacated all his 2010 games
November 13th, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
Of course it was! We all knew they wouldn't let him sit out for Penn State and Michigan.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
No one should be surprised
November 13th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
Devastating the Ohio State’s chances to beat the 48 point spread by 2 touchdowns!
November 13th, 2019 at 12:47 PM ^
Really dropped the hammer on OSU and Chase Young....
Fuck the NCAA, put the damn banners back up in Crisler
November 13th, 2019 at 1:26 PM ^
for what ? another runner up Banner LMAO
November 13th, 2019 at 12:48 PM ^
So they got to play an ineligible player for the first eight games of the season. Shouldn't they have to vacate those wins?
Shouldn't the committee take into account the fact that since OSU played an ineligible player for 8 games they will have to vacate those wins? So at this point OSU is really 1-0 since they shouldn't be able to claim victories in their games prior to Maryland. Doesn't look like a playoff team to me.
November 13th, 2019 at 1:10 PM ^
yeah !!! what he said !!! those rotten cheaters
November 13th, 2019 at 1:46 PM ^
That’s not how it works. OSU would have to have known about it and still played him. He hasn’t played since the school was notified.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:50 PM ^
Message is, there's no real penalty. No accountability for breaking the rules. It's mind boggling that these "rulings" can be handed down with a straight face. Cheaters prosper.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:51 PM ^
So it must be a coincidence that he will have been out for Maryland and Rutgers. SMH
November 13th, 2019 at 1:06 PM ^
Based on OSU's 42.4 pts/game margin of victory in 2019, he really could have missed any two games prior to now.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:52 PM ^
Well I can’t say I blame the NCAA for trying to ensure it’s #1 ranked team gets into the playoffs...starting to think this playoff business wasn’t best for the sport.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:52 PM ^
Not sure why it matters. There is another 5-Star DE behind him waiting to wreak havoc. Honestly even if he was suspended i don't know that it would make much of a difference. We need to stop them from scoring.
November 13th, 2019 at 1:05 PM ^
Harrison is a great player but to expect him to come in and replace the best player in America with no drop-off is not realistic.
They are a good enough team to not need CY but they are even better with him.
November 13th, 2019 at 2:04 PM ^
Bosa, Bosa, Young. I expect the same thing from whoever they put in there.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:54 PM ^
Rutgers has a chance!!
November 13th, 2019 at 12:56 PM ^
Wouldn’t OSU reporting back in January be honest and forthcoming but waiting for someone to report it to the ncaa cause them to lose the benefit of the doubt? I don’t think it’s a big deal, but the reasoning is flawed.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:58 PM ^
No one (see: everyone) saw this coming.
November 13th, 2019 at 12:59 PM ^
It seems that all of PState and UM will go berserk with this decision, but honestly, based on the suspensions given other CFB players in recent years, I don't see why anyone is surprised. This appears to be consistent with those decisions.
I get the herbstreit hate but there have been several other national media people calling the suspension a joke and there shouldn't be one.
CFB players are about to be paid. I've followed this sport for 50+ years and never thought I would see the day. Its just a different CFB world now whether any of us like it or not. The CY (and others) decisions is just another part of the change.
