Devonte Fields was suspended by the university for a non-legal related manner, not Patterson. Fields won his appeal. This has nothing to do with Patterson. Why would the university suspend him for a team rules related issue? And if he won the appeal, why is TCU not announcing he has been cleared?



he was not suspended for a teams rules related violoation.

He was suspended due to finding a bottle of alcohol in his dorm room during a random RA search. The room is shared with another student.

He was not found using drugs, he was not found drinking, he was not found drunk, he was not driving a vehicle drunken on campus. They simply found a bottle of alcohol in his dorm room.

He appealed the suspension and won it.


GP had nothing to do with the matter.












Do you ever think an LSU athlete would be suspended for a bottle of hooch in his dorm? do you think there are ever random dorm searches at LSU?


Totally different situation.

The criticism of playing Fields is a direct response to Patterson's comments regarding Hill.

No one cares. Please let him play but STFU about Hill and Les. FWIW Hill won't pay.

Well according to GP, this suspension was about teaching life lessons. Sounds like a short lesson.

I understand that.

However, to use TCU's appealed suspension of DF as evidence that GP did the same thing in the same situation as LM is either ignorant or simply dismissive of the truth.

I understand your quick judgment, but you are mixing quotes.

this suspension

was school initiated and controlled.

His comments on teaching life lessons were concerning the lessons the team would learn if they were allowed to vote a player back on the team in confrontation of a suspension.

This.

Lol at the people saying let him play so no excuses. Yeah it would have been great for all those UNC guys to play we probably would have lost. We play 4 top 10 teams and you are worried about people saying we beat TCU because they didn't have fields.

I had a feeling Fields would play. Why suit him up if he's not?

GP is going to look like a giant douche if Fields suits up and plays, and Les leaves Hill in BR, which is what I think he will do. No inside info, just a gut feeling.

Les said today that he "wouldn't be suprised if hill was with the team in dallas" (paraphrasing)

Hill will absolutely be there, and I wouldn't rule him out playing in this game.

Then GP shouldn't have run his mouth about DF being suspended and calling out Miles about Hill. GP looks like a total a-hole now.
