NCAA Re-Opens The Appeal Of LSU Cornerback Kristian Fulton

You think he was going to fake the test, then just all of a sudden realized he was clean at the last minute and took it normally? Lol. That is what you’re going with? He stopped because he was seen and he knew he had been. He didn’t not cheat out of some form of last minute repentance—after he was busted, that was the only choice he had. And I wish our dumbass fans would quit bringing up the damn Alabama thing. It’s embarrassing. Did they get a pass because they are Alabama football players? Absolutely. But that pass was given by the District Attorney of Ouachita Parish, the University of Alabama, and Nick Saban. The NCAA has no jurisdiction over that. They do, however, have jurisdiction over certain drug tests—for banned substances—that could jeopardize the fairness of the sports they oversee. You are comparing apples to staplers. Finally, I agree that 2 years is outrageously penal and unfair. However, the penalty for cheating has to be greater than the penalty for a failed test. Otherwise, why not try to cheat every test when you’ve been taking something? At least you have a chance to not get caught. You’ve got no chance if you have and do the test straight up. If the penalties are the same, you’d be an idiot to not at least try to cheat. That said, the penalty for a failed test should be less, like 4-6 games. The penalty for cheating 6-12. Losing half your eligibility is kinda insane. Regardless, I hope we get to see him play this year. Not only for us—we really need him opposite Greedy—but for him and his family who no doubt have had a very trying year +.

This isn't Minority Report. It doesn't matter if you were going to do something. If you don't do it. You're not guilty.... Regardless of reasoning. Simple as that.

cant argue with that, college penalties should be no more "or less" severe then the penalties they get in the NFL

Tell him to stop trying to “keep it real” and follow the damn rules and not try to buck the system. Part of the problem with people today is that they think the rules don’t apply to them and they have never faced repercussions for their actions. Hopefully he’s grown the F up and get back on the field.

And one of the good things about people today is they are calling bullshitee and not just “accepting it just because”. This was not a proportionate response by the NCAA and they called out their bullshitee.
