OK. Breaking Curfew, Getting into a fight at a bar at 1:30 in the A.M. Just for being a sad example of wht Miles want to present as a team. YES. Sit him down.
- Breaking Curfew - Check (now you know he'd have to sit all 20+ players for this as well. The "RIGHT THING" would be for him to charge all that were out for this one.)
- Getting into fight ????
Hmmm. Who got into a fight? What happened in that fight?
Please enlighten me.
Note: If you stop calling for just JJ's head, you may not be seen as someone that's just pushing for a change at QB that's not based on competition, but speculation and allegations.

For someone like you that almost daily tries to convince people to accept cheating in college football, this position seems hypocritical, no?
this isn't cheating. this isn't a situation that has no victims (like improper benefits)
and i think the whole "benefits" angle in CFB needs to be overhauled to make reality perception
quote:
You want people to not be supportive of investigations of the big programs
no. i don't think people should act shocked when they find out any school has improper benefits scenarios

but you want suspensions over a bar fight.
why wouldn't i? if our players were breaking rules and got in a fight, they fricked up and somebody got hurt

I dont see this as a cover up. If the lawyers settled with the victims then all is good. If not the investigation will continue. I am perfectly fine with Les punishing the players in practice and no one missing a game also

The fact that they need a lawyer, and particularly one as big as Nathan, likely means this isn't a joke or some simple bar fight.
Bingo
Fisher represented RP and odom as well...

It comes out piecemeal.
Different story now from "postponed indefinitely."
Sounds about right. Fisher probably contacted them this morning to say the players would not come in tomorrow at 9AM and said he'd get back to them on when would work. Then when asked by media outlets when the meeting would be, it is technically postponed indefinitely since they hadn't set a new time yet.

If LSU (or somebody connected w/ the university) pays off whatever plaintiffs involved to make this go away, the NCAA will have a planeload of investigators down here faster than you can spit. We're already on their radar far too much for my liking as it is.
i think we could skirt rules if boosters paid the victims. i don't see how that would affect players' eligibility
i could be wrong

But, but I read it right here in this thread. It's a cover up. LSU is paying people off. This is bad. So very bad. LSU is paying people off dammit.

I'm talking about the posters on here that are advocating this being covered up or at least postponed until after the Oregon game
A very small minority. I've read thousdands of posts the last couple of days and only a handful suggest this. Some are suggesting waiting until the facts come out though.

The same posters called for Oregon to bench Thomas for being a passenger in a car with weed and going 118 on the interstate
I will pay you $100 if you can produce 2 posts BY THE SAME POSTER saying that Thomas should have been suspended but Jefferson should not. Just 1 poster. You are really tarding up this thread, JJ. Pick yourself up.

I don't think you could skirt that. Not with the public knowledge of this. Before it was easier, but any connection offering a benefit to the student athlete, including paying benefits (i.e. settlement) to others they had harmed would easily be a violation.
With the NCAA looking to set examples, this would not look good for LSU which is currently on probation.

the facts are out within the team. miles already knows what happened
we will never know the objective truth of this situation, and neither will miles

And that would bring about the death of team sports. Crazy, biased passion. It's part of what makes it fun. Taken to the extreme it can be quite dangerous but if removed altogether, sports is but a memory.

I'm not real sure how it works either.
But on the surface, I'm afraid it could be construed as an improper benefit.

quote:This is not about the ncaa. Its about teaching the players that there are consequences for breaking the rules. What about the kick to the head while the guy was down? I love tiger football, but this is more about learning to be a man than it is a football game. At this point i am fine with playing the backup guys that have done the right thing. This goes further than just running the players or working them harder. Anyone that cannot understand this is not very intelligent.
What is really the point of making them sit? I don't think that by them playing we could get into any NCAA trouble that would later make us forfeit so who cares. Why further punish the whole team by possibly taking a loss over a few players poor decisions. If we lose with everyone active then we deserve to lose. If we suspend players for something that could turn into false accusations and lose then everyone will be screaming for Miles head even more. Their is no loss of the team. The in house punishment they are receiving will make them think twice I can promise you.

It seems like a lot of you want the players to plead guilty to highest charge and voluntarily do the maximum sentence or else it will be a "cover up."

What is yours? It seems like a lot of you want the players to plead guilty to highest charge and voluntarily do the maximum sentence or else it will be a "cover up." You have kids. If they get in legal trouble when they're older will you get them a laywer or just have them plead guilty and take their medicine?
I hope no LSU players spend a day in jail. They're in college. Bar fights happen. My response was to the poster saying if an attorney representing the players met with the victims and paid them off it's not a cover up but a settlement.
