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

Herby "speculating" about 4 games comes from his eSECpn handlers trying to shape the narrative now for maximum spin effect later. It's about planting that little seed in the tiny minds of their SEC ball-washing viewers to anticipate and expect 4 games. This accomplishes three things:

1. It fuels the rage of their SEC loyalist viewers against the NCAA and the other conferences when the NCAA comes back with a 2-game suspension ("the NCAA fucked us... fuck the Big Ten!" [the "us", of course, means the entire SEC collective])
2. It gives the SEC fan base an excuse for why the most superior team this year wasn't a team from the former Confederate States of America ("it was cuz those fuckin yankees cheated!")
3. It strengthens their viewers' brand loyalty for eSECpn ("good thing we got ESPN, they're the only ones looking out for the SEC!")
Exactly

Wait is that speculation or is he claiming he’s hearing that?

4 games for a fucking travel loan. Get fucked

LOAN.

NOT FROM A BOOSTER OR AGENT.

PAID BACK IN FULL.

Fuck the ncaa if they end his season. I've always been in we're not the SEC, so try and do things right and self-report and take our lumps if we find out something shady has been going on. If they fuck us on this then screw it all. Just go full Auburn from now on. Scrub the emails... bagmen the witnesses...fucking OMERTA, bitches!

I think if that were the case, he would've been suspended for bye.
I mean, most schools wouldnt even report this.
You got Tunsil texting asst AD for rent money.
This is just typical over-compensating by incompetent suits in Ohio State's PR office.

I'm not so sure about that. If it's this minor, don't make it major by trying to hide it, especially if it was brought to their attention by someone with an axe to grind who could take it to a McMurphy-type media asshole. Keep him from getting hurt against cupcakes for a week or two, let it bring the team even closer together, and move on. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for now.

I've seen it mentioned several places that there is speculation that OSU was tipped off by someone close to the Maryland program. If (and a big IF at this point) there is any truth to that, May Woody have mercy on their souls today.
I expect a very pissed off Buckeye team today.

Let's subpoena Maryland OTs' cell phones ...

Or... He's straight trolling the pedsters.

He's not smart enough to do that.

or he's an empty headed plastic Ken Doll

Winner winner chicken dinner.

I take anything Kirk Herbstreit says about insider knowledge with a grain of salt. He is always desperate to pretend that he is a big-time Ohio State insider and former standout.

I'll let you decide where he fits as an "sports personality". Here is where he ranks as a QB.

Joe Bauserman career QBR 114.5 7 TDS 2 Int
Kirk Herbstreit career QBR 113.5 5 TDS 11 Int

I am relieved by the reports of the loan being to Chase to fly his girlfriend out to the game. The prior speculation about his family getting the loan hadn't made sense to me and had concerned me because by all I've read they're solidly middle class or even upper middle class, shouldn't need loans to go to a game, and also just seemed way too solid as people generally to do something silly like taking that sort of loan (I get that we don't actually know nor should know their actual economic situation) Chase having a short-term minor cash flow issue (as noted by others, solid evidence that he isn't getting anything he shouldn't) and wanting a little help to get his girlfriend (undefeated) to the game makes much more sense and garners much more sympathy. Him being out next week would be absurd. Anything more would be criminal.

If Chase decided to just say "Fuck it" and bail out like Nick Bosa did last year, I wouldn't blame him a single fucking bit. No way I need this stress over a fucking loan I already paid back. But that competitive spirit is why he's about to be a multimillionaire and I'm not.
i'd be disappointed in chase letting down his teammates. unlike with bosa, this is not an injury that carries the fear of re-aggravation.
