LeQuint Allen is Back

[JeremyCuse]

A lot of time it's students

Fellow students are handing out suspensions? Seems untenable if anyone sues over it.

 

[gmoney44]

One punch, two SEMESTER suspension. Get out of here

DC would still be serving his suspension at that rate.

 

[sweetpea]

Coach Mac must be spinning in his grave.

Im sure laquint has some blame but unless the person he hit has a broken bone or something more serious thn a black eye, he shouldn’t be suspended for two semesters.

That's what happened to me in college. Had a similar incident and had to go in front of the school “board” which consisted of fellow students. They heard the case and handed out a punishment (A very unfair one at that). Not saying I know that's the case here, but there how it's handled at a lot of schools

 

[SUforme]

Yeah something is definitely weird here if it was a fight in true retaliation to be suspended the whole year. Very strange imo.

The judge granted a temporary injunction until July 12th. On that date the court could keep the injunction in place and continue the matter for a formal proceeding. This seems it could continue multiple times with the injunction in place. Possible continue until past November unless the school and laquint can come up with a settlement.
The other possibility the court rules LaQuint received due process, lift the injunction and dismiss the case. In that situation the suspension would stand.

I don't know how it is at SU but at many institutions of "higher" learning you are at a great and immediate disadvantage when you paraded before these academic tribunals of "justice" as a scholarship athlete...Now, if LeQuint were to come to the realization that he had been misgendered at birth or, even better, had an alternative sexual orientation, his case might suddenly come under DEI advisement and new standards of "justice" might apply.

When I represented some athletes (and other students, as well) through that “process”, it was a joke. Shortly after I got one decision tossed, they changed the rules so that the accused could not have an attorney present.
Very anti-athlete, as well.

No. The schools can have a process. They usually don’t follow it very well, however.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Where is the AD on this one?

Staying out of it, as he should.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Seems weird.

 

[Nick44]

He’ll be playing for Rutgers in 6 months.

 

[JustPherU]

Devo walked in to a room and exposed himself. What punishment would you want if that was your daughter?

Aren’t they making that legal in this country?

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Didn't read the entire thread...

Didn't something similar happen to DC3 and didn't SU allow him to play?

 

[rocklloyd]

I think we had fights every weekend in the old days. Other fraternities, the hockey team, the Rugby team. It was a rite of passage .

My cousin threw a recruit (he was hosting mind you) into a plate glass window at a bar on marshall street because he talked to my cousin‘ girlfriend. Nothing happens except we didn’t get the signing

People these days are brainwashed to believe life is easy and any form of physical altercation deems you a terrorist. ( there, that’s my grumpy old man quote for the day).

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

I am not a lawyer but worked in law for a long time. It’s going to be hard for a judge to overturn the student board decision. Unless there was something procedurally wrong with Allen’s review process a NYS Supreme Court judge isn’t going to overrule a private institutions internal judicial process. I can’t see Judge Antonacci finding a legal precedent to intervene. Best case is that SU and Allen reach a settlement.

 

[GeauxSU]

I would also like to point out Allen is from NJ. We just got a commit from his HS teammate. Cannot help our cause in any way.

I’d like to believe that his high school teammate had an idea of what was going on behind the scenes in lieu of what’s going on here.

 

[SmilinBob]

Upsetting in many ways and hopefully due process happens at a timely manner so LeQuint can play or leave. I'm surprised he's SUing the school, must really want to be there or is trapped and can't transfer.

 

[orangenauburn]

We had a star power forward slam an OL through a car windshield with nothing more than a slap on the wrist when we were serious about having winning programs

Was it Chris Herren?

I heard he had an interesting visit

 

[dan7800]

I'm trying to stay calm. But before we, including me, go off the deep end, we really need to know more about what happened here. It is possible that this is justified. More information will tell us. And we may get that if this goes to court.

Agreed. There is likely more to the story than is being reported.

 

[SmilinBob]

Agreed. There is likely more to the story than is being reported.

There has to be, it can't be just what we've been told for something this harsh.

I don’t remember the recruit. It was around 85-86. I didn’t get on campus until 87
