Tyrann Mathieu wants to stay at LSU
Filed under:
There is a brief article at the WWL stating that Tyrann Mathieu is interested in returning to LSU. He wants to attend classes this year on his own dime, and be readmitted to the team for the two years following. The article indicates that he hasn't been dismissed from LSU, but from the team, making this a possibility if the academic and athletic administrations can work it out.
Reading the article, you can't help but think of Fitz Toussaint. ESPN reports:
Mathieu has been described as "heartbroken" and "grieving" since his dismissal from the team. Mathieu has told people close to him that he is interested in working on his maturity and character and also in seeking out any way to continue his education at LSU.
I hope that things work out for him. Sometimes, correction and punishment can help turn someone's life around. This also, to at least a modest degree, speaks well of Miles.
As for Fitz, being suspended for Alabama, or the pre-season, could potentially be painful enough that he would think carefully about the consequences of his own actions.
