If a player is arrested for pot is that handled differently than if they fail a piss test?

There really are no regulations against illegal drugs in college athletics. Especially when the schools do the policing and they allow the athletes to fail multiple tests and cover up tests.

The NCAA and the SEC have both said that they are not interested in monitoring drug use by college athletes. And there is no transparency in any of the college athletic programs.

I commend Saban for giving evidence to the truth that athletes are special and treated differently.

Pot is handled by the individual schools. The NCAA tests for PEDs.

This is incorrect.

NCAA drug test for all types of drugs and the penalty is the same all even pot. A 1 year suspension.

NCAA test are very rare. School test are much more regular and the penalties are left up to each school

Sankey said this week that is not a priority for the conference. In other words, we don't care.

I disagree. The NCAA does it's own test and the schools can monitor/discipline any over and beyond any testing than that.

Why would the SEC make their schools schools enforce harsher rules than the NCAA or the schools wish to use as policy?

It should be the other way around. the NCAA should force drug testing at EVERY school. It shouldn't be at the discretion of each school. Plus, I can't believe the punishment is the same for all drugs found in a player's system.

If it's something like cocaine or meth then the penalty should be much harsher than just for weed. :eek:hmy:

This policy in essence says we do not care about enforcing drug policies. Especially when athletes can fail multiple tests before being considered a failed test. I really do not see why they even pretend to have drug testing programs. Just a waste of someone's money.

Sadly Tony, the only way that will change is for an incident to happen that results in death(s) involving an athlete being at fault. A traffic accident, or God forbid, something more heinous.


And even then, there will have to be strong, undeniable evidence the players school is unable to cover up. As long as each school's boards of regents, presidents, chancellors, athletic directors and coaches can somewhat maintain the illusion of respectability, they will just continue to spin statements and cash their paychecks. What is right and responsible be damned.

And we as fans will be not much better. Most of us will only call for change if the incident did not involve the school or schools we follow.

And if anyone from the Tennessean quotes me on this, go screw yourself.

Just like with most bureaucratic oversight it is inefficient and ineffective but it makes people feel better.

Tony

The NCAA does require each school to have it's own testing policy and discipline.

That's the point. It's already done


And yes a weed positive test for the NCAA is a full year suspension

Gotcha! But, I still disagree that weed has the same punishment as harder drugs like cocaine & meth. I can see weed being a one year suspension but for harder drugs it should be 2 years first time offense & career/4 year college ban for 2nd offense.
