He was.  He had two informal meetings with Ms. Carroll (he had to push back the first due to father's death and brought a football advisor with him; he retained counsel by the second that took place March 23).  He was offered an informal resolution from Ms. Carroll in March that would have suspended him for the current Spring and Summer.

This is when he began to offer alternatives and also question the process.  Part of his rationale was if he accepted the Spring and Summer suspensions he would not have enough credits to be eligible to play football in the Fall despite being allowed to be back as a student in the Fall.  Part of one of his proposals was to be allowed to take 6 credits remotely that would allow him to retain football eligibility for the Fall, but that was denied since you cannot take any SU classes if suspended of course.

None of his alternatives and counters were not accepted, and LeQuint subsequently did not accept the informal resolution instead opting for a formal hearing in front of a board (comprised of both admins and students).  It was after the hearing, which took place on April 21, where he was found responsible for violating student code and given a suspension beginning May 15 through the Fall semester (i.e., summer sessions and Fall semester).  He appealed to no avail, and ended up filing the lawsuit.

Maybe in hindsight he should have accepted the informal resolution and be suspended Spring and Summer from SU while enrolling and taking enough credits at a community college to be eligible to play football in Fall and be back on campus.  However, he felt he was wronged with punishment not fitting of his defense.
