LeQuint Allen is Back

[orangenauburn]

Right now if transferring is an option, I would be surprised if LA would even want to come back. And others might feel the same way.

It will certainly be used as a way to lure players away

In the show's opening discussion, they pointed this out: apparently the Judicial Board considered it LeQuint Allen's responsibility to see to it that the other student, (the one he hit) would appear at their hearing. At the same time, it was part of his probation that he have no contact with that person.

Yeah, I wondered about that reading the report.

Insane.

Wow. Fitz is killing it on radio right now. Killing it.

It’ll be posted on the podcast a little later.

DA William Fitzpatrick will be interviewed on Orange Nation on today's show -not sure when but guessing 12:30.

Fitzy dropping the Kafka. Nice

Four of us sent a certified letter to Kent. It outlined the fact that we thought based on what has been published that LA situation warranted a complete review. We also asked that he hire firm that is professionally qualified to review the entire process as it seems to be broken. Lastly, we asked him to take a leadership role and to get in front of this situation, to do the right thing by LA and especially on behalf of Syracuse University. We also put into the letter how much in aggregate we have contributed to Syracuse University over the last 10 years. The letter was sent by my father and signed by all of us.
In addition, I sent an email on behalf of our group which was replied to with a form response.

I love you.

So I don't think now is the time to speculate about him wanting to transfer. It seems like he is getting a ton of support within and from out. It's also clearly been escalated. Let's see how this plays out. Clearly Allen has allot of love for the staff and program. No need to speculate he is gone yet or for that matter recruiting is damaged beyond repair. It's very possible this turns out in his favor and he stays because he has developed strong relationships.

Listened as well, pretty much clowned the university and had LAs back.

I agree, I think the way he's handled this shows he's trying to remain a part of SU's community.

The University, as always, is coming off as out of touch, lazy and borderline pretentious. Politicians and University board members.

"borderline" - hahahaha!

 

[IthacaMatt]

My advice to LeQuint would be file a complaint with the NAACP.

Great advice.

And while we're at it, let's shut down the whole goddamn Greek system at colleges.

Frats and sororities are cesspools.

Good for you, KCSU. Way to throw your weight around [with no hint of sarcasm intended]. Stuff like this could be impactful / attention-grabbing.

Would encourage everyone to call the Chancellor’s Office and lend your voice to concern for the conduct of the University Conduct Board and encourage a complete and independent review of procedures taken with personal oversight from the Chancellor. The suspension should be suspended pending the outcome of an independent review. The receptionist definitely seemed frustrated with fielding another call on this situation. Pressure on the Chancellor is the only way anything changes moving forward.

That being said I think we have seen LeQuint Allen in Orange for the last time at the spring game. It is doubtful he plays this season and would show an inordinate amount of loyalty if he did not transfer. This has the potential to tank the athletics program.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Initiate isn't as important escalate.

I hope you're being sarcastic. Because sometimes people don't get the chance to respond to the first attack.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I think Allen mentioned somewhere that the other injuries were not caused by him and weren't there when he left, but the sham board takes his word without even showing up despite having changed his story multiple times.

Yeah, it appears that the tooth confession gave them grounds to assess the totality of injuries to Allen, despite there being evidence to the contrary.

Whats the phone number?

Did you vent to the receptionist or got through to the chancellor?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

One of the awful reports about the appeal response was Allen's observation that the outcomes are intended to be educational as a primary consideration and his outcome is particularly punitive, and their response was essentially "lol yeah but we can punish you and we are."

 

[IthacaMatt]

Whats the phone number?

Kent Syverud
Chancellor and President
chancellor
315.443.2235

Candace Campbell Jackson
Senior Vice President and Chief of Staff
candace1
315.443.2235

It's not allowing me to print their emails, but just add "at sign syr dot edu" to "chancellor" and "candace1" and you can let them know your thoughts in writing.

not following how that matters

It matters in that he's not an employee according to current law. He receives untaxed benefits, not a salary. He's not on any payroll. He could file a suit in the second circuit if he wants to. Even if they ruled in his favor, which I doubt, since other courts have already ruled differently, I find it hard to believe that he would retroactively be given the protections of an employee and be able to apply it to this circumstance.

If this is the case, the non high profile cases should be looked at as well, how many kids have been ruined from this bullshit system?

Exactly. Posted something like this earlier. Time to look at all the cases.

A lot. Can’t believe it’s taken decades for this to come out.

The athletic department needs to really engage in risk mitigation for all their students.

1. Explain that the code of conduct means that every engagement with another person is a potential violation. Keep your head down and do your work.

2. Being an athlete makes you a target. NIL increases that risk.

3. They need to retain counsel to assist anyone that gets sideways immediately.

4. If you have a truly bad kid, cut them loose. And explain that upfront.
