DE Chase Young (Nagurski, Hendricks, Bednarik, Silver Football, NFL DROY, New Orleans Saints)


If it makes you feel any better: https://www.courier-journal.com/sto...d-agent-violation-music-city-bowl/2233017002/

Ware, who transferred from UK to Jacksonville State before the 2018 season, was held out of the bowl game after accepting $1,628 in impermissible benefits from someone who triggered the NCAA’s definition of an agent, according to a self-reported rules violation made by UK to the SEC and NCAA and obtained by the Courier Journal through an open records request.

Forgot to add that he only served a one game suspension for that (bowl game). Although apparently he did transfer after that.

This quote is key, important points bolded:
The NFLPA prohibits agents from “[p]roviding or offering money or any other thing of value to any player or prospective player to induce or encourage that player to utilize his/her services.” Ohio law provides that agents may not “[l]oan or advance money to an athlete or the family or friends of an athlete in connection with the recruitment or solicitation of the athlete.”
Chase had already been at OSU for over a year at the supposed time the load was made (2018). So there could be no inducing or encouraging him to use his services, or the recruitment or solicitation of him, seeing as he had already been there for a year and was already playing.

I really don’t think this is/will be a big deal.

To use their services for the NFL contract he would sign. Agents start sniffing around these kids as early as HS.

All states have laws in relation to agency loans because its predatory behavior to know someone is about to walk into millions of dollars, so you bankroll them prior to payday in an attempt to “get your claws” in them.

The agent wasn’t influencing Young to OSU. The agent was maintaining his relationship with Young to make sure he gets to represent Young when he begins earning millions.

OSU is fine in this. Unfortunately Chase and the agent are not. But in a few years when the NCAA drops the sham amateurism of the sport, this wouldn’t even be a story. This could very likely end up as one of those stories 10 years from now where OSU fans say “if only the NCAA had eased up on amateurism a year earlier. We definitely would’ve won the 2019 title.”

I don't think you're interpreting that right. The issue isn't the agent trying to solicit Young to go to OSU but rather the agent trying to solicit Young to be his client when he goes off to the NFL. Unless OSU is linked to the agent somehow, actually used him a a bag man, or played Young while knowing this loan had occurred, all of which seems unlikely, there's not an OSU-NCAA problem but rather a Chase Young-NCAA problem. That's indirectly an OSU problem, of course, as it substantially reduces the team's chances of going 15-0 this season (or getting into the playoff with one loss), but I doubt that the school will face any direct sanctions.

EDIT: What @billmac91 said, just a couple of minutes later.
