Panel, not Policy should decide re-admission to team

In other professional scenarios, review panels decide the outcome of appeals similar to one TM7 would make to LSU in order to rejoin the football team. A policy should never be the deciding factor in these situations because every one of them is different. The circumstances are different, the people are different, and the benefits to both school/player are different. LSU and TM7 are missing out on a very positive potential outcome if he really wants to rejoin the team after focusing first on his personal development. In my opinion, an independent review panel should be created to review his progress and make a recommendation to LSU, Coach Miles, and the AD every three months. That seems pretty simple and would prove TM7's commitment and LSU's statement that they continue to care for their athletes and students.

If the kid sits for an entire year that's punishment enough.

Agreed and Nuff said.

You are letting his greatless cloud your reasoning. Where was this same outrage for any number of former players who've been kicked off?

we have a policy. If it is only his 3rd test, you go by the policy

I would say if they wanted to rejoin the team, then a panel should have been established for that as well. I think everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves and appeal to a body that's independent of the situation and can make the right recommendation. The setup is flawed for everyone, not just the great players.
Obviously, there would be some clear objectives and requirements setup for TM7 to follow and if he failed then it's clear he's not committed.
One can say if this season's potential wasn't enough, then why does he deserve this. I say it's because of maturity and perhaps the problem he allegedly has with drugs. Neither are something that are solved quickly which is probably why he failed subsequent tests. 8 months is enough time to prove he's making enough progress for a review panel to recommend his return to the team.
