So, did Miles have a choice?

several comments about TM7 being kicked out of school and/or being booted b/c of NCAA rules
Has anyone confirmed these? Did Miles have a choice or was TM7 gone even if Miles said he could stay?

The million dollar question.

I don't think I have seen anybody say "ncaa rules" only team and school rules.

After what the NCAA just did to Penn St for their cover-up, I'm glad LSU didn't try to cover-up the most recent of TM7's off of the field issues.

If he violated team rules and this was a team decision, that's what would have een said.
Because it was said he violated school rules/policy, the most rational assumption is that he was being dismissed from LSU, and this could not be a member of the football team.

it is a fact that the school itself can trump any coach and toss a student out. the football program can probably handle lots of things internally but some things they cannot. nor should they. penn state comes to mind.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter IMO

No, he didn't have choice! Coach Miles is a great coach and does the right thing, always!

Well if Bruce Feldman is correct, then we'll know depending on where TM ends up. Feldman said that if this was a mandated dismissal due to a 3rd strike drug test, then TM isn't eligible to play at any level of NCAA, and would have to go to NAIA or something.
If LSU says that they dismissed him, but he was still eligible, then he can drop down to FCS and play right away.

As long as it was a team administered test and not an NCAA test, then it has nothing to do with NCAA rules.
The 3 strikes and you're gone rule is an LSU team rule, so I doubt Miles really had a choice. But it's been known that certain coaches have exuded their power and covered up failed team drug tests.

Here is the deal: At other schools - Alabama, Texas, Ohio State, etc., this stuff goes away. The school does not enforce its policy against the Heisman Trophy finalist. It is swept under the rug.
This was Miles or someone at LSU that says that the football program is not bigger than the university and integrity. Whether it was Miles' call or someone else's, Miles works with them and they are, collectively, the LSU community.
LSU is bigger than one player. Miles preaches that and backs it up along with the rest of the LSU community. Anyone trying to NOT give Miles credit for this doesn't understand how organizations work. You are either corrupt or you try to be honest and have integriy. We can all name university communities that are corrupt. LSU is not one of those and Miles is the coach and leader.
Yes, he deserves credit.
