Message: [QUOTE="OburgCuse, post: 304719, member: 788"] Playing devil's advocate here a little do we know that he will actually officially have a felony on his record? I'm no expert on the legal system and I'm not sure what the terms were to his conviction and plea but if a first time offender (this prob isn't the case depending on his juvie record and juvie time he already did) he may have been able to apply for a COD or get it dropped down to misdemeanor for good behavior, etc even though initially it was a felony. As far as the felony stuff goes I had 2 separate friends at SU one of which had a felony on his record before applying and another which got one while there and neither were given any problems by SU. I don't know if SU knew about them which I guess would make this a moot point if they didn't, but they both were good guys who made stupid mistakes and went on to graduate and hold good jobs now. So I'm just saying we prob don't know the whole story about his conviction and how the school handles it and I really don't care either way if he ends up back at SU or not. I do believe if he has learned from his mistake and can be a model citizen from here on out I believe he does deserve a second chance if someone is willing to give it to him. As far as SU goes I can understand them not wanting him back or if the school, HCDM, players, etc are comfortable with him coming back I'm cool with that also. One option that I haven't heard yet as far as him returning to SU is requiring him to go to Nassau for a year as kind of a trial period then if all is well he would be allowed back and still have 2 to play 2. Either way I don't really care because we'll be fine either way, but I'd like to see the kid land on his feet if he is indeed sincere and changed. [/QUOTE]
