As an old who has been around a lot longer than 99% of you youngsters I can tell you that almost every football program in America has had their share of similar crap at least since the early 50s. Maybe not marijuana but getting drunk, stealing test, turning over cars, breaking windows, etc., etc., etc., and up until the media got into the 'gotcha, I'm Woodward and Bernstein and I'm gonna break some big news ahead of everyone else' routine, this stuff was overlooked and brushed under the rug. Especially in college towns who had a friendly press.
Nowadays, there is a camera in every phone, a camera at every redlight, someone waiting to "Rodney King" you and no one can afford to cover up anything anymore, not saying they should.
This still happens everywhere, some choose to cover it up and hope they don't get caught (Ohio State); some choose to take the high road when all efforts have failed (LSU).

The stuff that used to happen was the stuff that legends were made of. It was very difficult to get caught then. I'm very familiar with that part of it..... You can't sneeze today without the planet knowing about it.
Let's face it, LSU and all other programs are running a behavioral clinic AND a football team. Having rules and sticking to them is the only way to survive and have any semblance of order. Congratulations LSU and Coach Les Miles !!!!!
