LeBron James Tweets Latest Criticism of NCAA Over Chase Young Situation
By Sean Facey
LeBron James has never been the biggest fan of the NCAA, but their controversial suspension and investigation into Chase Young has the King on their backs yet again.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar tweeted his disdain for the situation on Saturday afternoon.
The fact Chase Young even had to borrow money from a family member just so his girlfriend could come see him play in one of the biggest games of his life(? Bowl) should tell you all you need to know. And since y’all always wanna know more he paid it back to his family member. ??♂️

His point is absolutely valid given the information available. Per reports, Young simply accepted the loan to help pay for his girlfriend's flight to the Rose Bowl, and he even ended up paying it back anyway.
The only thing that the NCAA can cling to right now is the fact that the person who gave him the loan is a NFLPA-certified agent. Outside of that, virtually nothing seems shady enough to warrant a possible four-game suspension.
But of course, this is the NCAA we're talking about, and their rulings on situations like this are questionable at best, so it's unlikely that any amount of criticism from superstars like James will prevent them from throwing the book at Young.

At least he's making it known that he doesn't approve of how they're treating Young and that he stands with him as he tries to clear his name.
