‘Free Chase Young’: Criticism of the NCAA patterns on social networks after Ohio State star’s suspension|Sporting News
Chase Young will not play for Ohio State on Saturday because of, in his own words, “an NCAA eligibility issue.”
Ohio State initially shared the news of Young’s indefinite suspension Friday morning, and Young elaborated on the news a few hours later on. According to the star pass rusher, he accepted a loan from a family friend and repaid it completely last summer.Young’s legal representative Tim
Nevius also launched a statement on Twitter, saying: “Chase took a little loan from a close family good friend in 2015 to cover fundamental life expenditures. Loan was repaid months ago and we’re working to restore his eligibility. Unreasonable and outdated [NCAA] rules penalize professional athletes for making ends meet while enhancing everybody else.”
As of now all we understand for sure is Young will miss Ohio State’s video game against Maryland on Saturday. There’s an opportunity he misses out on more than that, but there’s likewise an opportunity he merely misses one video game. The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman consulted with an NCAA compliance specialist who said, ” If it is a loan he paid back and can show it, a one-game suspension may be enough.”
A possible case that’s equivalent is Kentucky’s Denzil Ware, who took $1,628 from a representative in 2017. Kentucky self-reported the exchange and suspended him one video game. The SEC and NCAA identified this sufficed punishment.But any missed out on games for Young this season is big news, as he is a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender this season. So quickly after it was announced that Young is taking a look at an indefinite suspension, college football experts and fans had strong responses. Many of those reactions were calling out the NCAA.The hashtags “#FreeChase “and” #FreeChaseYoung” even began trending on Twitter.Why can’t an American citizen
