Delone Carter Returns, Sorry Akron

That we’ll have the “Threat of Lightning” in our backfield this year.

I fully support it. Do we need a formal vote? Or can you use an executive order and “make it so”?

I hope every dingleberry posting on syracuse.com about how Delone got preferential treatment because he was a football player with the school when it came to his reinstatement chokes on the crap they spew every chance they get. It is amazing how sometimes it can be so calm and then people have to come along and share their lack of knowledge with more people. I also hope that kid’s lawyer joins the group because we all know the only thing he is doing is laying the grounds for a lawsuit, which will probably include Syracuse for causing emotional hardship on his client for allowing DC3 back on campus or attempt to get the majority of his signing bonus if he is drafted.

Do I think HCDM is hoping DC3 is playing every game this season to due lack of depth at RB this season? Sure, it is his second year and he knows the bar is raised from last year. I do think though that knowing what we have seen of HCDM so far, that probation/punishment that DC3 is or has served would make most of us quit and probably make Mike Williams post on Facebook about how unfair it is.

I knew guys who got in fights in college where there was more damage than this and all they had to do was pay restitution costs for the damage, issue an apology to all involved and maybe miss a couple weeks of school. DC3 had to apply for reinstatement, still faces legal issues that have not been resolved yet and who knows what else. Shut the fuck up already about how he is getting away with everything and go back to your basements away from people again.

but in all honesty… the kid has been a class act for the better part of 5 years. He came back when he could have gone pro. He has never slipped up. Has no history of poor judgment outside this one incident and a good relationship with HCDM.

I also believe there are some details being left out in this whole situation. It was not a random punching but DC3 is likely not allowed to comment because of pending legal action.

there is no way a normal student would have EVER been prosecuted to the extend DC3 was. 9 times out of 10 DPS or the Syracuse PD would tell the people in the fight to “break it up” and to “go home and cool off.” Ive seen it with worse fights than one kid getting punched at SU. Ive seen a kid in the hospital with a bottle broken over his head who knew who hit him and wanted to press charges but the cops said “its your word against his and we dont have any other evidence. Its not worth pressing charges”

DC3 was kicked out for the remainder of the semester and the summer. He had no summer housing and had to go home. He missed the spring game his senior year and all of spring ball. He was not able to work out or use team facilities all summer.

He did not finish his spring semester because he was kicked out. He did not get to take summer classes which are essential to a student athlete for them to balance their accademic and athletic requirements.

Now he and his family are going to have to bear the cost of a civil suit which Im sure is already in motion.

All this for a first time offender with no track record.

Carter is getting it harder than any other student at SU in the same situation would. There is no way he is getting special treatment.
