Chase Young – Another Example of NCAA Power Abuse

Chase Young – Another Example of NCAA Power Abuse.  The NCAA is at it again.  Again is a relative term since it appears that they have never stopped.  It is very strange how a group of people can come to conclusions that really do not match up with the rest of society.  A player taking a load from a family member or a friend of the family really has nothing to do with anything on the field of play.  There are a lot of crazy rules that the NCAA has this is one of the ones that is just head scratching.

I would not be surprised if a lot of the players did not know that this was against the rules.There are so many obscure rules out there that no one could know all of them for sure.  What this does do is show how out of touch the NCAA is with all that is going on in the current environment.   With how they are treating players in college sports they show this almost every day.

The NCAA looked like it was making some progress with allowing players to make money off of their likeness.  Something that really should have been allowed all along.   Then a few weeks later they take ten steps back with what they are doing to Chase Young.

It looks like Chase Young is going to have a two game suspension.  They were throwing out there four games and the possibility of taking wins away from Ohio State.  I have never been a fan of taking away wins.  Especially on something like that that would have had zero affect on a win or loss.  Any way you put it taking away wins is the dumbest punishment the NCAA can dish out.  If they had taken away wins for this I would have said it was time for the Big Ten to make the move and leave the NCAA.

If I were Chase Young I would tell College Football good bye.  Thank you for the opportunity to get noticed.  Follow in the path that Nick Bosa laid out last year.  It is not worth taking the chance of getting hurt.  Go prepare for the Draft.    There is no doubt that Chase Young is one of if not the best player in collage football this year.  He really does not have anything else to prove.  He will more than likely be the first or second pick in the draft no matter what he does to finish out the season.  Unless of course he had some kind of catastrophic injury.

It really would make sense for him eliminate that part of the equation.  Of course Ohio State fans heads would collectively explode if two years in a row their best player elected not to finish out the season.  Of course if they were getting paid then this would change his options here.  I don’t see him taking that path.  Chase Young and Ohio State will have the opportunity to do something amazing this year.
