Well, if he’s an Ohio State grad he’s probably driving an Uber.Good.
Ya' done now? You need me to call you an Uber to take you home?

So antisocial he was featured in a multi-episode Netflix documentary as a high-schoolerNot really. Fields seems like he's a pretty antisocial type of student. Maybe he doesn't like the traffic, all the students, the walking, etc that comes with being a regular student. Being able to take all your courses online is extremely convenient, I don't know why more people don't do it in 2019

Who said they don't pay the refs as well as the players? Certainly not me. Not after what I've witnessed over the years anyway.
@CJFisJoePaIIWhere is Bushwood when we **really** need him?
Turn on the BushSignal.
It takes a whole lot of gall for this asshole Gene Smith to talk about Ohio State's "culture of compliance." Same thing for describing the booster who lent the money to Chase Young, after meeting him for the first time in the summer preceding Young's freshman year, as a "family friend." Such a yuge slap on the hand banning him from the Maryland and Rutgers games.https://www.espn.com/college-footba...keyes-chase-young-suspended-vs-rutgers-return
"I want to thank and express my sincere gratitude to university staff members who worked so diligently and expertly to learn and understand the facts, and then to report these facts to the NCAA as part of our request to have Chase reinstated," Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said in a prepared statement. "This is the example of the culture of compliance we have at Ohio State. I also want to commend Chase Young and let him know how proud we are of him. He took responsibility for his actions, cooperated throughout the process and understood and accepted that there would be consequences."

Ahh, there's that "holier than thou" mentality I've grown so accustomed of seeing. You wanted it to be an agent so bad, you wanted OSU to vacate wins so bad, you wanted him to be suspended for the rest of the season so bad, but it wasn't any of that and now you're complaining that it's unfair and OSU skates. What's really unfair is that this was a 2 game suspension and not a 0 game suspension.
If you look hard enough, you can find a conspiracy in just about everything.
Im an ass because I was right about everything I said and you had nothing else to say other than go **** yourself? Okay buddy.
Whatever happened to the notion you go to college to GET an education, then get a decent job to earn a good living. Oh, that's right, it;s OSU! According to that NFL great Cardell Jones, you don't play School! Isn't that why John Cooper got fired? A couple of 0.0 GPA's on the football team?And that's why he's being suspended 2 games for it. But the bigger question is, why is it a rule in the first place? Thank God these players are getting paid here in the near future.
In fairness to kid who dreams of playing in the NFL and is not interested in higher education, what other legitimate options are there other than to go to college for three years?Whatever happened to the notion you go to college to GET an education, then get a decent job to earn a good living.

Good point and for the most part true. But honestly it’s gotten so out of hand sometimes it makes me wonder if a minor league similar to baseball wouldn’t be a better option.In fairness to kid who dreams of playing in the NFL and is not interested in higher education, what other legitimate options are there other than to go to college for three years?

In my opinion the athlete is also doing a disservice to himself. The lure of NFL money forces kids to make very bad decision after sports. The number of retired athletes filing for bankruptcies is through the roof.Just my humble opinion, but passing up an education is nothing but dumbing down society.
Regardless of your opinion (which really has nothing to do with what I said, whether I agree with it or not) what legitimate choice does a guy who just graduated from high school have if he wants to play in the NFL?Just my humble opinion, but passing up an education is nothing but dumbing down society.
In a sane world, the NFL would be forced to develop their own farm league (like they had in Europe but didn't like losing money on). Then we could get back to amateur football w/ real students.Regardless of your opinion (which really has nothing to do with what I said, whether I agree with it or not) what legitimate choice does a guy who just graduated from high school have if he wants to play in the NFL?

The problem is that many of these kids - FROM ALL SCHOOLS including PSU, OSU, and UM (Go Blue) - passed up education when they were in high school and really don't have the background for succeeding in college courses. The question to ask is how many CF players would be in college if it wasn't for football - or even want to be ? And what really gives me a laugh is when schools pound their chests about how "we do things the right way." Guess what, BS goes on at ALL schools and anyone that thinks otherwise needs to take the blinders off.Just my humble opinion, but passing up an education is nothing but dumbing down society.
Bingo ! Spot on and there's the real problem.That’s my point. We are essentially forcing guys that want to play in the NFL to go college for 3 years whether they want to or not.
Was this always the case? I don't think so. Things have changed!The problem is that many of these kids - FROM ALL SCHOOLS including PSU, OSU, and UM (Go Blue) - passed up education when they were in high school and really don't have the background for succeeding in college courses.

Did you get a chance to watch the Dartmouth Princeton game? Create a minor league and put real teeth into admission standards and that’s what college football will look like in less than a decade. After 10 minutes I had to change the channel.Bingo ! Spot on and there's the real problem.
Reminds me of when Gene Smith joked about Jim Tressel firing him... no culture problem there. NopeTranslated to normal human speech:
"We're so proud of you for accepting illegal payments and then only getting busted for MD and rutgers! By accepting the illegal payments, you are forever a $uckeye!"
The NFL does not want to pay for one. The owners do not want to share any of their earnings by subsidizing a minor football league. Why should they as the NCAA is quickly moving toward taking care of that void for them? College football will be the true minor league with overtly paid players in just a few short years.Good point and for the most part true. But honestly it’s gotten so out of hand sometimes it makes me wonder if a minor league similar to baseball wouldn’t be a better option.
If he is rejected by the NFL or becomes incapacitated, what are his options without a proper education? Shoot for the pros and if you fall short, become a mind numbed neanderthal.In fairness to kid who dreams of playing in the NFL and is not interested in higher education, what other legitimate options are there other than to go to college for three years?

His options are the same as everybody else without a “proper” education. Plumber, electrician, maintenance, armed forces, etc..... That’s not the point.If he is rejected by the NFL or becomes incapacitated, what are his options without a proper education? Shoot for the pros and if you fall short, become a mind numbed neanderthal.
He had about as much of a shot at winning the Heisman as I did. At best he may have gotten invited, but no way in hell a defensive players wins the “QB with the best statistics and most hype” award.Chase Young lost a shot at the Heisman through his suspension and while that might not mean much to those on this board, that's a pretty big deal.
I would defend one of our kids if they were in a similar situation. No double standards!
If he went to Ohio State, ESPN will hire him so he can be a mind numbed Neanderthal with a microphone.If he is rejected by the NFL or becomes incapacitated, what are his options without a proper education? Shoot for the pros and if you fall short, become a mind numbed neanderthal.
