The best approach would be to focus ONLY on the punishment. This needs to be an attack on the NCAA to point out that a draconian punishment like that is NEVER in the best interest of the student.

Orgeron needs to decide to take a public stance on the issue. He needs to take the side of the player. He needs to go scorched earth. He needs to play the "it's just wrong" card. He needs to point out that a 2 year punishment effectively removes a second chance. This will be a win for Orgeron. He'll be seen as a proponent for the player. He can use it in recruiting. And, taking on the NCAA gives instant credibility as to his stature. SEC media days would be perfect for this, but I don't know if that timeline works.

This will get the attention. As of now, nobody has even noticed this story. Ultimately, I don't think it will solve the problem, though. In the end, you are still asking the NCAA to admit that its policies are wrong and to remedy it in a specific case. I don't think that's going to happen.

the punishment is way overboard, but why do something stupid to put oneself at risk the way he did?

shouldn't be smoking weed when he knows it's against the rules. complete boneheaded move on fulton's part, though i think he's more than paid for his blunder.
