Except he wasn’t being tested for weed which is the whole reason that this is LSU and O’s fault.

How the fck are you not educating your athletes on what substances they are going to be tested for and the dangers that come with attempting to tamper with the test.

Add LSU Compliance to that list to blame.

And LSU's compliance office is completely independent. Coaches can make requests, but to be cliche "they do want they want" *add finger snap*. That has an upside as it pertains to the NCAA; you don't get Petrino's hiring mistresses and cover up functions like at Ole Miss.

But being independent AND unresponsive is a whole other thing than being independednt AND responsive.

The moral of my story is that it is the Compliance's job to educate both the coaches and players. The coaches have a responsibility to the players, but that education is executed through the compliance department because they have judged that the coaches may "mis-educate" them, intentionally, to skirt rules and play in grey areas.

Yes, he panicked because he thought they were going to catch him with weed. Sad thing is, he went to other players- they didn't know either!

If compliance had done their job of education, then even if Fulton had slept through that presentation you would expect at least 1 of those players in the room could've have given him cliff notes before he filled that first cup. But no... they were all oblivious.
