re: Donte Starks suspended indefinitely

“The rule I am about to break is important to the team. It’s important to me too. But I just cannot avoid it. I have to do this. I am one of 25 players accepted every year. But this one thing, I must do. It has power over me”.

Care to share context on what the heck this quote is?

Or on SOMEBODY's kazoo. You must be sensitive to our millennials' feelings.

I agree, but Louisiana will be among the last states to do it. Major lobbies for both parties are profiting too much from the status quo to allow any changes to happen.

They would profit triple that off taxes by legalizing it like most states are getting hip to now...status quo only allows for you to profit off the people you write citations to or take to jail, where as if it was legal they would be profiting millions of dollars off lots of people, many they had no idea used in the first place bc people could do what they do without fear of being taken to jail

You may be right but why is this one coming from a university press release and the others were never acknowledged?

Rehab for weed?

I don’t know if this was weed but suspending a player for weed is so LSU. While a Bama player arrested on a felony gun charge just runs bleachers after practice.

Might be grades. He had trouble qualifying

Nah man. The ONLY reason LSU ever suspends or otherwise disciplines ANY ATHLETE is just for smoking a little pot.

I’ve read it on here a bunch, so it must be true.

quote:

---

Why is our compliance Department such hard asses for weed violations. Unlike Bama and pretty much any other school in the conference. Why are we even doing this? Also be known for this cannot be good for recruiting.

---

Because weed and other substance violations are against written University policy. PDF of LSU Policy

Since LSU and the Athletic Department and not the compliance department determine said policy, the compliance department has its hands tied and is responsible for following LSU's written policy per NCAA rule mandate.

Please note that I am not defending the compliance department, but their hands are tied in the matter of failed LSU and/or NCAA administered drug tests.

Now whether a change in LSU's written policy can come from the Athletic Dept. or needs to come from higher up in the Administration (Board of Supervisors) is the question.
