Why would I support him if we don't even know why he was put on administrative leave?

tbh, he's not the best band director.

Sounds like he's getting screwed, but maybe we'll improve.

I think I'll wait and see. Usually when this attorney who is representing him starts trying her cases to the press, she's got a loser on her hands.

TGBFTL has no influence over the Athletic Department's decision to pipe in music. The members on TB and Roy King Work their asses off to put out a quality product and to carry on the traditions of LSU football.

Sign the petition and show some support.

If the reasons thrown out behind the leave of absence is 100% truth, then it's a raw deal for King.

The problem, however, is that King's performance as a band director has more items in the "needs improvement" column than the "excels" column. He has no real bargaining power here. If he has taken this situation as an opportunity to be an arse and sue/resign, somebody gave him terrible advice. Wickes could have pulled this off. King, not so much.

A vote for King is a vote for TGBFTL. If you don't like King, so be it.

If you don't want the band, the color guard, and the Golden Girls, then that's another reason to screw King in this fight.

However, erudite LSU fans understand the importance of TGBFTL as integral to the game-day experience and its relevance as an iconic ambassador for LSU, in general.

So, to all you smartys: vote for King, damn it!

They should have just let him go because the band has been so bad lately instead of creating more drama.

From the petition page, it appears he has a lot of supporters in Florida. This can't help his chances of being reinstated

Wait just a minute. Roy may administer the band budget, but the budget is under the athletic department and thus not at the discretion of any one individual, be it Roy or anyone else. While he might be a part of the discussion, the conversation is between the School of Music and the athletic department about who should administer the budget. There is a lot to this story that's not being said and I would never accept his attorney's explanation. It's a 3-month investigation and he met with HR and the administration. This isn't about a budget or his performance as band director. Be careful signing a petition without knowing all the facts.
