Chase Young just released a tweet that JA was paraphrasing.

 

I got a text from a friend who said he wasn’t practicing this week and to prepare for bad news. That’s why I couldn’t really get into the playoff ranking thread.

Sounds like this will not be a big deal. I expect him back soon.

Worst case scenario for Chase is he gets a couple extra months to focus on being the top pick in the NFL draft. I'm sure he'd rather play, but there are worse positions to be in.

He has a good lawyer with other case law to use. Hoping for a good outcome.

Greg McElroy was saying his draft stock could not get higher right now and it would benefit him to not play any more.

He's absolutely right. The competitor in Chase will be screaming that he wants to play, but in terms of his wallet, not playing and preparing for the draft is exactly what he should be doing.

Applies to Tua and Burrow as well?

The best thing for Chase’s draft stock is to come in to the WHAC every day and get coached by Larry Johnson.

Yeah, weird world of college football. Bosa did it last year and it worked out nice for him. Can’t say I like it. I guess this really applies to the top 1% in college football.

Speculating from outside the realm, the key question for me is who is the family friend? If it is a booster or someone linked to an agent, then it is a bigger issue.

If it was a family friend, why didn't his family borrow the money so that he would not have to get involved......or would that be a violation, too?

Not necessarily, the dollar amount is the key in my opinion.

You would think they’ve heard of Cam Newton, right lol?

Was it a family friend or an NFL agent?

If this is truly about a kids family being able to travel to a bowl game, college athletics HAVE to move forward from this kind of nonsense. If a booster wants to pay for flights for a kid who is already enrolled they should be able to IMO.
