Report: Lawyer Is 'Optimistic' Resolution For Suspended LSU CB Kristian Fulton Is Near

EXCESSIVE PENALTY.......how about the Bama player caught with MJ and gun in LA.and gets no time...... need to move SEC commission office to BR from Birmingham and we could get good deals too

I'm ready for Fulton to be a member of the LSU Fightin' Tigers in 2018.

I just don't get it Marijuana is illegal but Alcohol, Cigarettes and Opioids are all legal if you judge by damage to life Mary Jane would be way low on this list I guaran-fricking-tee it. The most you get from smoking weed is the munches you get arrested for DUI, DWI and drunk while in public and so many people die in alcohol related accidents. And the biggest murderers in this country is cigarette companies I still don't understand why cigarettes are legal. And so many people are ODing on opioids that they are changing laws to fight it. But cigarette companies, alcohol distributors and drug companies are not held accountable but you go to jail or you get suspended or get fired from your job for smoking a joint it just don't make no sense.

That's what Lawyers do....pump sunshine!!!

This would be huge. O is getting some chips to fall his way recently.

Anybody know what kind of drugs he was using? Were they enhancing his performance or just something like marijuana?

according to your standard. Without turning this into an argument b/w you and I and others. We may disagree certainly. But we don’t regulate our moral compass or lack there of based solely upon our definition of what is fair or right. The only standard then is our own and comparison. There are rules. What I find really interesting is a touchdown isn’t much up to our own definition of what a touchdown is. It’s clearly written out what it is and what it isn’t. Thankfully we have replay. But those refs are doing there job. I get what you are saying. There are circumstances and maybe even an inability to overturn a touchdown— whatever. All I am saying is he wouldn’t be in this situation if he didn’t break a rule. Maybe even other younger athletes and us can learn that we don’t have to do the time if we make better choices that would keep us out of the situation in the first place. Lot of time for this young man to allow it to not only get his attention but let him feel it. Maybe the length shapes his future decisions. I know we agree on the majority here.

Nickel to a bucket of shitz many don’t have a clue. Kristian will be fine!

Yes there are consequences to poor decisions. A 2 year penalty is absurd. He didn’t commit a crime. Let’s keep things In perspective. 1 year is PLENTY severe. His future is most likely as a professional athlete. There is no justification for a 2 year penalty for this. Can’t say this enough...frick the NCAA.

Alabama based attorney? Oh Boy

Reading some of the comments and following this for years. It’s almosy humorous now a days that someone cal break the rules and the comments about excessive punishment and comparisons to other cases that have similar but probably significant differences. The easiest dialogue should be, if person x doesn’t do x then there is no need for any punishment. No need for comparison to any other case. Why aren’t we gently suggesting that there are consequences to choices. After all, he made a choice. Let’s start there. I get it. He is being made to understand the severity of the choice he Meade and they are equally strongly suggesting to other athletes. No poor choice, no worries. Poor choices have consequences.

Close to being over. Not close to getting a good result.

Rooting for Kristian. Punishment was excessive to begin with. Time for the NCAA to be reasonable.

Ridiculous penalty to begin with. Hopefully the NCAA does the right thing.

team vote?

Typical lawyer speak. They are always optimistic until the end. Given the circumstances I still think the chances are slim. However, I personally think a year sitting out should satisfy regardless. 2 years is a very overwhelming obstacle to a future career for someone who is still developing into an adult. If he wins this will be a big relief at a position of need.

We comin'

Huge if true

Perfect are you.! Ha we must learn from our mistakes

I am apprehensive. We neeeeeeeed him, but there are rules.
