Let's Not Use "Delone Carter" And "Strike" In The Same Sentence Anymore

by Sean Keeley on Apr 27, 2010 12:13 PM EDT

Late last night word trickled in from Ryan Maloney that Delone Carter would slowly begin climbing out of the pit of despair that he's currently inhabiting. While the charges themselves have not been dropped yet, Carter has "struck" a deal with Syracuse that will allow him to "punch" his return ticket to school and play football in the fall. Thank the f***ing lord.

Lawyer George Raus said today Carter is to remain suspended for the remainder of this spring semester and for the summer semester. But he should be allowed to return to campus for the fall semester, the lawyer said.

"It's going to be hard on him," Raus said, noting Carter will have to make up any credit for incompletes he receives in this semester's courses as a result of being suspended two weeks ago.

He also will have to perform 200 hours of community service," Raus said.

So, if I'm reading that correctly, Carter will also not be able to participate in summer camp, a huge blow for sure. What was supposed to be a star-making year for Delone will likely be spent as part of a platoon with Antwon Bailey and Averin Collier. Still, that's better than nothing.

No word on whether or not Doug Marrone will dish out his own game suspensions separately from this deal. And Carter's lawyer continues to work with the District Attorney on a settlement.

Carter's a vet.

So missing summer camp doesn’t concern me much. He knows the deal and I’m sure he’ll be ready to go whenever Marrone allows him on the field. Who knows when that will be though?

I think HCDM was able to get his whole package in before this all went down (nh?)

If he gets all incompletes this semester

And can’t take anything in the summer, will he even be eligible for the fall?

He won't miss summer camp...

For fall student-athletes, most notably football players, the semester starts with camp. I bet he participates in summer camp. Do you really think they’ll only let him return when the regular students return? He’ll be here in August.

Suppose that's true

But it depends how they worked it out in the agreement. I’m surprised that wasnt spelled out up front in the article.

He's banned from taking Summer classes.

But summer classes end in early August.

Camp doesn’t start until classes are over.

seems like they're diminishing his chances of graduating

while enabling an incentive for him go strong this fall; in hopes of improving draft stock and consequently play a role in the growth machine of the program. (beef bowl!) For this six-year medical cyborg senior who now officially “has a past.”

And all the wrangling and bulls**t over two young men who got into an encounter on a delirious februrary saturday in syracuse. Hope he comes back in fall and runs amok.
