How does the waiver affect Fulton in the future?

If Fulton is eligible now due to a waiver, how does this affect his future career at LSU if his next round of court dates geaux badly? Does he use this time to get a highlight reel together and declare for the draft or would he stick around the remainder calendar year and play his senior year? I guess it would depend on what type of year he has but curious on your thoughts.

There is no waiver. The interpretation committee determined his violation falls under a one year penalty instead of two years

How about lets just see how the drug test and this year plays out before we start talking about his NFL future

What court dates are you talking about?

I believe the ncaa used the incorrect ncaa drug testing rules applied to Fulton. They applied the correct rule and he has served his time. I can't imagine what would be left?

Maybe I missed something but Fulton won his case. It's over.
From here, either he balls out as a third year player and goes pro or he returns next year solidly manning one of the CB positions.
I really don't see anything else as remotely possible absent injury.

Dang. I was under the assumption he was on a waiver like Zeke did with the Cowboys. While the waiver was placed he was eligible to play until the rest of the court dates had been finished. Awesome news if he isn't on one but I didn't think the NCAA out of nowhere would drop his second year after a pending drug test.

He lost his case initially. NCAA upheld the two year suspension and then just recently out of nowhere from the outside looks as if they either changed their mind or he is on a waiver while the family continues to fight. I would absolutely love to be wrong and have him this year and next but I thought it was a waiver scenario.

Nope, after he passes his drug test he is free and clear. No more litigation, meetings, etc. He is free to play ball.

He's fully reinstated pending a drug test, no strings attached.
The NCAA essentially overturned their ruling and said "our bad" once it was pointed out to them that they applied the wrong punishment.
He's good to go.

Alleva > Fulton family lawyer
Let that sink in.

Can you read? Joe Alleva sent a 4 page letter to the NCAA stating that the punishment should fall under the 1 year rule instead of the 2 year rule and the interpretation committee agreed.
Fulton didn't break any laws, there are no court cases. This scenario is nothing like Elliot, which was a LEGAL issue for domestic violence.

Athletic director Joe Alleva even said at the time he couldn’t conceive of what further measures the school could take on Fulton’s behalf. But the school and the former Lehigh University quarterback launched a Hail Mary pass anyway in the form of a four-page letter to the NCAA, requesting a reclassification of Fulton’s penalty that would result in a one-year suspension instead of two.

This isn’t a legal matter. There is no court date.

I forgot that he could go pro after this year. I had to go look on 247 to make sure.

Calm down bro. Wasn't saying I was right. I thought he was on a waiver due to a podcast I listened to this morning stating that. I was asking a question and people answered correcting me. Don't have to be a dick.

I must have missed that he was in legal trouble.
Is he really? If so, what did he allegedly do?
When overseas it can be difficult to keep up with LSU news, so please pardon my ignorance to the situation.
I knew he was suspended by the NCAA but this is the first I've heard of anything criminal.

It was pretty clear listening to him on the radio that he's perhaps not the best lawyer out there...

It is nothing to worry about. I was under the assumption his family and lawyers had filed for a waiver and fighting against the upheld the two year suspension. This is not the case because as I have been corrected Alleva wrote a letter and had the decision changed.

You could have read my post. Just saying. It was a good post I thought...
