Would you give up Gore & Demaryius Thomas for Jamaal Charles in 1/2ppr league?

There is a good chance that many of the LSU Administrators are Christians themselves. However, it's in the best interest of the university to not associate itself with any type of religion.
I agree with everything you are saying, but then how is having George Bush speaking at a graduation not considered associating itself politically yet leaving the cross in the picture is considered asscoaiting itslef with a religion?

It's really not about right or wrong. It's about LSU's athletic department running a pretty tight ship the past decade or so. We're one of very few schools that monitor the hell out of their athletes.
Which I don't see anything wrong with.
I just see it as a privilege to play football at that level. The kid made mistakes, but still has the opportunity to pursue that privilege...just not with LSU. It happens with every program in the country. Even Mett says he feels what hes is going through, but the process of starting new and repairing his image will be beneficial for Tyrann...and thats coming from someone who has dealt with something similar to Tyrann
Hopefully he does change and takes advantage of the opportunity.
I think you limit a kid when you allow him to believe football is his only way out. There is and will be more to life for Tyrann than football.

My 30 second google search only found the clearing house paperwork issues and some minor chatter on a Bama board about Pratt getting into some drug trouble.
I stand corrected.

Only thing odd here is your posts.
Had DP become part of the Tiger family and played here 2 years things may have been different.
It's easy for people here to use hypothetical situations to further their obvious agendas instead of just coming out and stating what they obviously feel.
I have no agenda.
On this site, if you don't blindly side with players you are blasted.
I just feel there is more to this kid's life than football and people saying there isn't are holding the kid back from realizing there is more to life than football. If that is an odd take on what is going on here, then I am ok with being odd.

Hmmmmm, it was originally reported that he had clearing house issues. I thought the drug shite was just internet rumors?
I could be mistaken, but the gist of what I gathered was that it was related to drugs.

I didn't know Dexter Pratt attended LSU? You learn something new everyday here.
Wasnt allowed to due to drug issues...kind of odd isn't it???
Maybe if he had a worse upbringing, he would have been given more opportunities to correct his mistakes?

What's best for Tyrann is for him to be in a stable environment. LSU can afford him that better than any place else right now.
Did you feel the same way about Dexter Pratt?

Sitting might be the very best thing he could do for himself. Competing against D-1 talent isn't what the NFL wants to see...
Janoris Jenkins did fine going that route. He took his lumps like a man and dealt with the consequences and made it into the top 2 rounds of the draft. But had Florida decided to take him back, they would have been labeled as a thug program by all of the rant.

Look, I feel like I need to copy and paste this shite in every Tyrann thread. This kid had a raw, and by ray I mean the shittiest of shitty upbringings. Dad's in jail for murder, mom was a crack whore who, when she finally got clean why Tyrann was 7 or 8, decided that she couldn't handle all the kids she had so she gave Tyrann up. The grandpa had to step in and stop him from being awarded to the state. He even did an interview prior to the BCS game where talked about his mom and how it still hurts him to this day that she didn't want him. Best part is that rotten piece of shite decided Tyrann was good enough for her in the past few years and now wants to build a relationship with him. Tyrann has been hanging around some shady characters this entire off season and it was just a matter of time before something like this happened. LSU is his best chance at getting the proper guidance and care at this point. He needs LSU way more that LSU needs him.
I agree with all of this, but what separates him from the rest of New Orleans youth in deserving another opportunity due to their upbringing??? His ability to play football???
This is a university, not a semi-pro football team. Football isn't and should not be the most important factor to those making the decisions.
If football is what is best for Tyrann, then he needs to go to McNeese and start preparing for the draft next year and forget about LSU. Staying out of football for a year and returning to LSU next likely isn't his best football option.

Umm, prior to his dismissal, football was almost certainly going to make him wealthy. Financially secure and independent.
Think of him as a very promising medical student in his internship- more than a few med schools would tell him to get his arse into rehab, follow a stringent program, and allow him to return in a year if he meets criteria. That's because he's demonstrated a considerable aptitude for the field (I'd compare him to "top of the class" in med school), and if he can get cleaned up, he'll prosper- and so would his future employer.
So, yes- in that light, it is important for him to return to football. What's the other career choices he has in front of him, and how do they compare?
I definitely undrstand your point. But noone forced him to blow his opportunity at his career. It happens every day and he knew he had more at stake than others, but still made poor decisions. Why arent we scanning the papers for every kid who lost an opportunity due to drugs and sticking up for them?

Doubt it. I imagine you'd want wants best for your kid. Right now the best thing for Tyrann is to stay at LSU, both academically and athletically. He's not a bad kid. I've had the pleasure of being around him outside of LSU and y'all are acting like this kid is running around town terrorizing people. He has a real problem and this is the first time he's had to deal with definite consequences. This is a change of life, one way or the other, for him. I love how people think they can possible put themselves in his shoes right now
So making sure he plays football again is important part of fixing his problem?
Noone is judging him as a person. We are saying he broke rules with consequences and therefore should suffer the consequences like the rest of society. Im sure he is a great kid and if him getting better is the most important thing to everyone right now, then football shouldnt be in the discussion until he has truly recovered.

But imagine if your 11yr old grows up and fricks up once or twice. Would you just say it's time to move on then?
If my kid fails 3 drug tests at a school with millions on the line...he or she will get a second chance. They would enroll in another school on MY DOLLAR and would learn the importance of an education and making good decisions.
This is where his parents need to parent. It isn't LSU football's responsibility to baby kids and parent them with blind allegiance and a lack of consequences for their actions.

And not follow their own policy?
Doesn't look good
Does the policy give discretion to the people in charge to make the decision permanent?
Maybe the people who see this kid every day and have been working with this kid every day feel that this is best for our program and for the kid to part ways.
I dont think people would feel the same way if this had happened to Jarret Fobbs or Rocky Duplesis...just saying

Does it not give the AD and coach the discretion to make it permanent if they feel it is neccessary?

Throw him out like trash right?
Im so sick of hearing this shite...
Everyone else in society has to live by certain standards. If any of us fail drug tests at work, we get fired and stuggle to find work after. These kids fail 3 drig tests in 1 year and we are the bad guiys because we wont let him back on the team???
He was on full scholarship and had every opportunity in the world to succeed and make BIG money, but he couldn't stay away from drugs. Sure the kid has a problem and if most of you care about the kid as much as you're leading everyone to believe, then you should be focused on his rehab right now and not the specifics of when and where this kid will be playing football again...
Its insane that this has become about LSU not supporting the kid. They gave him multiple opportunities and from what we KNOW, they were already working with him to help him with his problems.
This kid needs to focus on getting better and figure out if LSU will take him back when he is better....whenever that may be.
