Honest Opinion - Chase Young
At first, I was giddy. Star OSU player getting in trouble. You were all probably excited
if it was a criminal case, screw him, screw anOSU. Totally expected.
But seeing that it APPEARS TO BE a loan (or even a gift) given to an athlete that OSU, B1G and the NCAA routinely take advantage of, amassing huge profit, I say screw the NCAA.
And if they used the $ to pay for his parents to go to his game, then screw the NCAA again.
stupid NCAA rules...pay the f@cking kids!
and also screw anOSU

Really doesn't matter what our views are on paying players bottom line is as of now it is against the rules and it just seems odd that it's a close " family friend" that happeed to become a family friend right before he left to go to Ohio State. Not a good look and these kids know better.
When you enter the NCAA Clearinghouse you take a "test" about right and wrongs. They know better. Bottom line is dude will get paid, he's a great player

Imagine if this happened to one of Harbaugh’s players? The press would be asking for the death penalty for Michigan football.
November 8th, 2019 at 6:40 PM ^
November 8th, 2019 at 7:11 PM ^
No, they wouldn't. But they would probably be saying the same things about Michigan that are being said about OSU today.
Nobody, outside their own fan bases, likes the blue bloods in college sports.
November 8th, 2019 at 6:28 PM ^
The rules are the rules. It wasn't a loan, that's a lie, it was money from an agent for future representation. He didn't use it to pay for his parents to attend the game, that's a lie, he also didn't pay it pack, that's a lie. Everything O$U does is a lie.

+1. This line is the funniest thing I'll read all day.

Butthurt much? Sounds like talk from someone who is 1- 14 against us in the last 15 years. ???
November 8th, 2019 at 6:48 PM ^
OSU apologist.
Why?
November 8th, 2019 at 7:03 PM ^
I guess someone answered it in the next thread. It makes a LOT more sense now.
November 8th, 2019 at 6:48 PM ^
This whole thing is completely scripted. OSU has known about this for a while. They waited until the Friday morning right before two punching bags in Rutgers and Maryland to have this come out.
Now they can spin this by suspending him for these two games and pressure the NCAA to get him back for PSU and Michigan because they "self reported" this infraction.
So what did we learn? Pay every recruit to come to Michigan. Then if that ever goes public just call that payer a friend of the family, suspend the player before two shitty opponents, then you're all good. Nobody plays this game better than O$U.
Urban is sitting back with a scotch and cigar smiling right now.
November 8th, 2019 at 10:50 PM ^
UNCWolverine hit the nail on the head. PRECISELY was calculated and what will happen. As he said, nobody plays the game better than OSU. Just look at the whole thing with Urban last season. What a joke.

You're an odd duck FT2.

Obvious liar idiot is liar idiot.

Moms, do your worst.
t(tm)OSU apologist. Cave it.

Honest opinion - you’re a shit eating moron.
November 8th, 2019 at 7:23 PM ^
That’s all called spin
November 8th, 2019 at 7:33 PM ^
November 8th, 2019 at 7:49 PM ^
By "they will be hammered" you are referring to the people who started digging and found other infractions, and I assume you mean it literally as in their skulls will be fractured with heavy tools wielded by OSU thugs. Because OSU football is untouchable in terms of NCAA infractions. Gene Smith would fire them all.
November 8th, 2019 at 7:39 PM ^
On one hand, fuck O$U.
On the other, Chase Young is the best player in college football, and it kinda sucks to see the sports best players go out like this.
November 8th, 2019 at 7:47 PM ^
Did Chase Young's family learn nothing from Cam Newton's dad? The NCAA wouldnt care about this if Young didn't personally receive the $ and it went directly to his family.... Good on him for owning up to it, but you just can't take $ from an agent and remain an amateur.
November 8th, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
I can't disagree with any of what you said....
November 8th, 2019 at 8:10 PM ^
I wonder how OSU will benefit from/be rewarded for this.
November 8th, 2019 at 8:15 PM ^
The schools playing by the rules are the victims.
November 8th, 2019 at 8:28 PM ^
If the loan really came from a registered NFLPA agent who met him the summer before his freshman year... The proper take is not to call the NCAA to task.
November 8th, 2019 at 8:46 PM ^
Friday putting in stiff competition with Sunday for worst day of the week on the board.
November 8th, 2019 at 9:21 PM ^
I will treat the Chase Young situation exactly how OSU fans would treat a theoretical Michigan player committing an NCAA violation. Drop the fucking hammer on Chase Young, his agent "friend" and OSU.
November 8th, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
Frank- You sound like osu fan boys that justify literally everything. He didn’t take a loan from a longtime family friend. He took money from someone who he only met once he was committed I osu. Once it came to light that someone knew about the money changing hands, he then somehow paid the money back.
November 8th, 2019 at 11:40 PM ^
Could be a Bosa move? Why risk injury in the last few college games when you are projected #1 pick in the draft? This is good exit strategy for him.
November 9th, 2019 at 12:54 AM ^
That’s true. Of course. Either way, he’s a great guy.
November 9th, 2019 at 2:50 AM ^
I thought it was stupid when Curtis Ennis got suspended for taking a suit from an agent 20 some years ago. This Chase Young situation is stupid too. The NIL rule changes can't come soon enough so these guys can start earning money on the side and don't have to resort to borrowing money from friends or agents. F the NCAA. I have no sympathy for (mostly) white men living large off of the cheap labor of (mostly) young, black men.
November 9th, 2019 at 7:16 AM ^
Borrowed $ so his family could get to the Rose Bowl was one story, but his attorney tweeted that is was for "basic living expenses" and went on to say how Terrible it is that these athletes live in poverty while others get wealthy off them..... Tugging at the heart strings.
If it smells dirty, it's dirty.
Would this board feel the same way if it was a Michigan player? Probably not, but that may be because we don't have a history of this shit like they do. Ask tressel & Pryor & company.
November 9th, 2019 at 8:11 AM ^
This situation is just another example of how OSU is a win at all costs football factory. And people get upset and don’t understand why U-M can’t beat these pricks. Isn’t it obvious?
Harbaugh actually has U-M back to the level it was before Hoke, RR, and even the later Carr years. It’s OSU that has elevated their program to the next level through their shady practices and by consistently skirting the rules.
FACT: OSU is willing to do WHATEVER it takes to win and U-M is not. It’s really that simple.
I’m not advocating that U-M cheats, but unless U-M gets in the muck with OSU, you can’t expect that the results on the field are ever going to change. This isn’t a fairy tale. Good isn’t going to somehow magically triumph over evil.
If you want to beat OSU, you need to start playing by the same rules as OSU. Otherwise you need to stop complaining about U-M’s new lot in life as a pretty good, but never elite football program.
