re: Removing Guice from the records is absurd

do we as a society really want to celebrate people like that in any way?

It’s not about celebrating him. What he did on the field is a fact, and it’s recorded in books that contain factual statistics. Removing his data from those books doesn’t change what he did; it makes the books contain lies.

Assume the LSU pres once shook hands with Guice, and now decides to cut off his right hand so if anybody ever asks him if it happened, he can point at the missing hand and deny it. It doesn’t change what happened, and it makes him a liar and a huge idiot.

We gonna wipe out Billy Cannon too while we're at it? I mean ... it's ridiculous. Keep Guice away from the program for a time period I guess, but changing record books is stupid.

If he cheated in the games or used performance enhancing drugs I could see removal, but deleting from records in this case is stupid.

It’s the schools fault for ignoring complaints and reports of behavior and continuing to play him. Following their own logic they should delete/forfeit all games he played in after first finding out and refund tickets and any money made above standard SEC contract while he played.

Also it’s not like schools haven’t long covered for athletes. It’s harder with social media and cameras everywhere (or delayed like in Guice’s case), but usually in past what finally made it to press was something that just could no longer have enough pressure or money to stop report. Athletes have always been treated specially in high schools and colleges, but the ones playing in money making sports are the true privileged class of students at colleges making some of comments by former players farcical. Guice wasn’t the first (still waiting for Ryan’s truth to come out) and will not be the last, and LSU is not alone by a long shot.

LSU and every other school need to stop having lower expectations of their athletes behavior than of their non-athlete students and stop covering up their mistakes and in some cases illegal activities. NCAA needs to stop letting problems just transfer and ignore becoming responsible adults.

Deleting record doesn’t fix anything and is just a distraction to real solutions including holding athletes accountable for their behavior off the field as much or more than the schools glorify and profit from their actions on the field and finding a fair system to replace the travesty that title IX has become for both sides.

I agree. Cancelling stats is stupid especially when you havent removed Cecil Collins or Billy Cannon. But he should be banned. Just another way the university is trying to save face for not doing the right thing and fire ALL individuals involved in these allegations. Just trying to make themselves appear to be in control before the federal hearing and following lawsuits. They're gonna pay one way or another.

It’s a show. Have to do something to act like we’re taking it seriously.

If he is that bad, why isn't he in jail?

So what exactly was guice accused of?

Is it on deshaun Watson’s level or Bill Cosby level?

Yeah that’s stupid, but ok with him not being around the program
