I haven’t followed the entire story. He’s only been charged, right? Could he be suspended until the outcome? Charges could be dropped or reduced, found not guilty, etc.

IMO you got to kick him off the team regardless of due process. He got arrested and didn’t tell anyone about it, and apparently didn’t even plan to.

I agree, the lying doesn’t help his case. I think if there was a chance, it was just ruined. You have to let him go now.

Just curious about the case.

Players have been getting arrested at LSU and other schools LONG before this kid was arrested. Hell, Billy Cannon wouldn't have won the Heisman or become an LSU legend if the coaching staff was quick to boot him after his transgressions (then again, purportedly Cannon always owned up to them)

It's certainly is not a good look that the kid was arrested and I understand (and agree with) LSU suspending him. However, I still believe in innocent until proven guilty and I'm not exactly in favor of potentially ruining a kid's life before he's even been convicted of a crime. If the kid did it, then he SHOULD suffer the consequences. But we live in a society who likes to find people GUILTY first, then make them prove their innocence. That's not how our legal system works
