that part doesn't mean shite it doesn't say they want hi to quit and sign with an agent...anyone who thinks LSU and Orgeron forced him to quit or said they wouldn't let him play is crazy

I think Fournette and Orgeron had a conversation about his health and whether it was in his best interest to get healthy or go out and play less than 100% and risk inhibiting his rehab. He wasn't going to play, so who cares if he signed with an agent now? Kind of moot. There is no rule against him still attending the game and supporting his team mates. LSU just can't foot the bill anymore, but I'm sure Fournette will have to problem footing the bill and securing a sideline pass.

And sure, it was ultimately his decision. No one can force him to play. I mean what would Orgeron say, "play or you're off the team?" He's freaking hurt. If that wasn't apparent to you watching him try to play all season, then you're irrational or blind.
