    Chase Young says NCAA sidelined him for a loan from a family friend

    Report: Chase Young borrowed money for girlfriend’s flight to Rose Bowl
    Posted by Mike Florio on November 9, 2019, 9:50 AM EST


    As the NCAA explores whether and to what extent Ohio State defensive end Chase Young violated rules that strictly prohibit players from getting any money at a time when they collectively generate billions for the Machine, more details are emerging regarding the circumstances of the loan.

    And, of course, there’s a chance that those details won’t hold up under the eventual NCAA scrutiny. If the NCAA is inclined to aggressively scrutinize the facts.

    Bruce Feldman of TheAthletic.com reports that the loan came in December 2018 from a family friend, so that Young could fly his girlfriend to California for the Rose Bowl. According to Feldman, Young repaid the money in April. Feldman also reports, citing an unnamed “person,” that the family friend who loaned the money to Young isn’t an agent or a booster.

    That latter claim conflicts with multiple reports that the loan came from an NFLPA-certified agent.

    As noted by Feldman, NCAA regulations require that the loan come from someone with whom the player or his family had a relationship before his recruitment began.

    And so the attention now turns to the NCAA investigation, which ostensibly will explore the rabbit hole for the who, what, where, when, and why of the loan. It would be foolish, however, to dismiss any chance that the NCAA, for P.R. purposes, will choose to not be overly aggressive in trying to pierce through a facially-plausible explanation.

    Attitudes have changed dramatically since the NCAA threw the book at USC and Reggie Bush for his family receiving side benefits from a group of agents who wanted to represent him. With college sports under siege for the hypocrisy that comes from pocketing all the money the players generate while allocating some of it to chase them around to ensure that they’re not getting other money from anyone, the real question is whether the NCAA will accept Young’s story on its face — or whether the NCAA tries to rip it apart and get to the question of whether the money traces to an agent, perhaps with the longtime family friend serving as the conduit for it.

    What amazes me is why the loan wouldn't go tot he girlfriend or the parents or the dog or whoever? Why the player? I'm not saying the rules are right or wrong. All I am saying is that the rule is there, everyone knows the rules are there, why even get on the fringe of an infraction.
    BTW, I think the NCAA has too much power, is too much of a monopoly, and has too many rules. At the same time I think guys who get big scholarships are well compensated
    Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
    Hope is not a strategy
    RIP

      That's what happens when you tell the truth I guess.

        Truth or not. Players at these big time programs SHOULD be attending training on what is appropriate, what isn't and what is in the middle that you need to document and get approval for. No f'n excuse for anything like this to happen to a player like this unless, as I fully expect, OSU gives a a lame ass presentation, doesn't make sure the kids are paying attention and basically looks the other way most of the time because OSU is still tainted by Urban Cheater Myers.

          Not to be outdone the NCAA ruled that Memphis kid ineligible in basketball. The NCAA is a criminal organization I hate everything about them.

            Here it is AW-Unreal

            NCAA rules Memphis F/C James Wiseman ineligible, temporarily eligible for UIC game [UPDATE]
            This is huge news for a player projected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

            By David Fucillo@davidfucillo Updated Nov 8, 2019, 3:16pm PST


            UPDATE: A Shleby County judge has put a hold on the NCAA’s ineligibility ruling pending further litigation, per Wiseman’s attorney. He is eligible to play tonight against UIC.

            A mere three days removed from a debut double double, the NCAA has declared Memphis forward/center James Wiseman to be ineligible. He had 28 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks against South Carolina State.

            His attorney, Leslie Ballin, announced the news late Friday afternoon. According to Ballin, the NCAA declared Wiseman ineligible because head coach Penny Hardaway helped him move from Nashville to Memphis and Hardaway is considered a booster due to prior donations. Ballin has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA and Memphis.

            Wiseman is a favorite to go No. 1 overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. Prior to the announcement, he was getting the seventh best odds to win the Wooden Award as national player of the year. His odds were at +750, just behind Gonzaga forward Killian Tillie (+700) and just ahead of Kansas guard Devon Dotson (+900) and Marquette guard Markus Howard (+900).

            Memphis hosts the University of Illinois-Chicago Friday evening. Memphis is an 18.5-point favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook.

              Yeah, the law stepped in here but the NCAA is going to say so what we run the show.

              These kids get a scholarship I get it. But CBS for instance made millions upon millions Saturday on LSU-Bama and those kids risked everything.

              As good as the officiating is in college sports the way the NCAA is allowed to run it is just wrong as it gets.
