re: If Foster wins his ineligibility appeal, should he be allowed back?

Jimbo looked like a coach who wanted to win at all costs defending indefensible behavior, not a coach supporting a player wrongfully accused.
JF screwed up badly and he is hoping his prof allows him to make it up somehow, in the same way a lot of us screwed up at one point and an instructor allowed us to make it up. I don't know why we have turn something so simple into a "wrongfully accused" vs "irresponsible & arrogant terrible person". Neither are true.

I have heard the same story along with a few other issues pertaining to the professors unfair treatment of athletes. professor played baseball for two years and had 27 at bats and was not very good. hope there was no resentment of our high profile athletes

It still doesn't mean the coach doesnt know what he did and how to handle his team.

I posted that like ten times in this thread. People don't seem to get it.

You can't play the kid he is ineligible. How many more dumbass people are going to say why doesn't PM have his back and play him?

Correct. You have no clue. That was my point in responding to you earlier.
You don't know what Foster did or didn't do.
All you know is that he was declared academically ineligible. That's it.
You are filling in all of the other blanks yourself.
re: athletes passing legitimately, how that affects the value of an LSU degree, etc.
You have no idea whether any of these are applicable to Foster and this situation. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't.
Why don't you wait and find out what happened?

So if he wins his appeal he was never inelidible so he should play. You sound like the BRPD with Collins. Guilty until proven innocent

this is actually where the burden rests for an academic appeal. the burden is always on the student to prove why he shouldn't have received the grade he did, not the professor to prove why he did. you are absolutely "guilty until proven innocent" in an academic appeal. i have no idea about foster's case outside the rumors posted on here, but when i was in school, academic appeals were very rarely ever successful. honestly the only one i can think of off hand was my buddy successfully appealing a grade and permitted to retake his finals because his mother passed away a few weeks before finals and he was tending to all her funeral arrangements, among other things, right up to the final dates. basically, you better have a damn good reason for your appeal to have a prayer at success.

I think people are saying he wasn't technically ineligible last weekend because grades hadn't been reported yet. However, I'm sure Mainieri got wind of it prior to grades officially being released and decided to play Zardon so he has that many more reps at 2B if Foster's appeal is unsuccessful. They want to play the angle that it's something Mainieri has against Foster, not Mainieri making a strategic coaching decision based on the best interests of his team.

If he appeals and wins than that means he should not have been ruled academically ineligible, which means there should be no discipline that should be handed out and that means he should be allowed to play with his team. Not fair to penalize someone if they win in appeal.

Yes.
