LeQuint Allen is Back

[JeffCuse]

If the chancellor got involved would that result in an ncaa violation. My thought if they go against procedure the ncaa would claim benefit to the athlete. It may be the reason he had to file a lawsuit. Judge not associated with the university.

The Chancellor would be overturning his suspension to be a student at Syracuse University, and it's based on a massive miscarriage of justice, the evidence of which is piling up by the day. It would have nothing to do with athletics.

According to their reports, he would be arrested for trespassing on a campus facility.

They’ll have to find him first! 100% closed practice, no cameras.

Sneak him into the Dome through a side door for game 1. Hide him in the Otto costume until game time, and then unleash him.

We’ll just play him in road games and the idiotic home game at Yankee Stadium that maybe isn’t so idiotic now.

Genius!! Move practices to whatever local high school has the best field!

The root cause of the injustice here, and the public outcry, appears to be a disciplinary rule that excluded evidence of the other person's conduct. Because of that rule, the alleged "victim" wasn't present at the hearing. Proof of his serious injury (needed for Assault 3d) was scant. And testimony about his initial assault (that LQA was responding to) appears to have been minimal. True, student disciplinary hearings aren't supposed to be supreme court cases. But the procedures followed here invited an unjust outcome.

At this point, SU is facing a crisis largely of its own making. Its disciplinary process has been exposed as arbitrary and punitive. Internal boards ignored the accused's truthfulness and contrition, deprived him of the opportunity to argue self-defense, meted out a disproportionate penalty and then refused to adjust the sentence on appeal. Ironically, even as SU justifiably takes it in the teeth in the media (), the lawsuit may be its best option to stop the bleeding (!). An outside forum gives it enough "cover" to work out a reduced disposition without looking like it's coddling a star athlete.

Basically what this decision says is that LeQuint was only guilty of being a matriculated student. Because if he had already graduated he’d be outside the Kangaroo court’s authority and the DA obviously wasn’t pushing this case.

The optics here are abysmal.

Let’s not forget that a 18/19 year old came with a list of recommended punishments, completely owning up to his wrong doing, and the University said… no thanks, 2 semester-suspension is better.

A great lesson to teach the students!

The lesson is lawyer up and shut up

Powerful and true…always exceptions but jeez the LA incident fits in this conversation comfortably…kid punched back after someone punched him multiple times… I’ll say it again, universities are messing kids up by feeding them a false sense of reality

We need Saban to come out in support of SU

 

[BKCuse]

She's working off the current SPRING roster, which came out in March.

I don't think she even knows about the JUCO.

Class of 2023 - JUCO RB Deston Hawkins (CA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (5/23/23)

syracusefan.com

How can the beat writer not know about a JuCo RB currently on the roster whose commitment was well covered?

I think this entire situation goes to show what a lot of people have claimed for a long time that people on this board refuse to acknowledge. Syracuse is not that serious about sports, and it starts at the top. Nothing but silence from Kent.

Just a simple comment about this is being reviewed further would go a long long way. But no, silence makes everything worse. He’s allowing a young student be harassed for a decision that was probably wrong, but possibly right. The fact he hasn’t made a comment one way or another to deflect attention off a student is inconceivable to me. It’s not just about making the proper decision with the student athlete. But it’s also about protecting a student/process that is so out of touch with reality.

This thread is about LaQuint Allen. If you can't stay on topic I will happily ban you from the thread

Is that reviewable by the OCS?

 

[cliftonparksufan]

That's the money shot. "Do you want him on the street or do you want him here earning a degree".
C'mon Kent. Get off your fricken butt.

I won't tell if you don't.

If Dino and Red didn’t seem like exceptionally likable people with a lot of built up good will from me, I don’t think I’d find it that hard to walk away and find other things to occupy the ridiculous amount of time I waste on this crap.

Like, if we had Edsall and Hurley, I’d be GONE.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the AD and Chancellor are ignoring emails from fans this week.

Going to go out on a limb and say this is out of Wildhack‘s control with Kent being muzzled by lawyers for the time being.

In what bizarro world does an University administration let things come to this.

Surprised it took Toad and the rest of the Schiano lovers this long to make us look bad

I imagine they spend like 23 hours a day staring at the block R on their stadium and saying things like “simply, wow!” to themselves, so it probably takes them awhile to notice things.
