The link ( not bananas foster)
The kid tested positive for marijuana and suspended for a whole year by NCAA just for toking a joint. What a harsh and stupid rule that is far from the realities of college life. A kid takes a toke of a harmless substance yet the NCAA has no problem with alcohol or prescribed narcotic drugs.
Is there any wonder the NCAA is on the verge of irrelevance?

There was a lengthy thread on this yesterday. Just a heads up.

Is there a reason you linked us to a history and recipe of Bananas foster?

He had a link when I posted. I guess he took it down?

For what it's worth, here's the thread from yesterday. I thought it was longer. LINK

It's hard to argue that the NCAA acted appropriately here, regardless of the laws in place.

The rule is insanely stupid, but the kid fricked up and it is on him.

Sorry about the bananas foster link, I screwed that one up. Copy paste is not always your friend.

Sure. And he should be suspended. But not for a fricking year. That's ridiculous.

Which is why I said it was stupid

I was listening to Gary Parrish yesterday and he said that marijuana was on the same level as heroin in the NCAA's eyes. So dumb.

This is on the kid. If they tell me numerous times that if i eat carrots they will suspend me and i eat carrots anyway, who's the stupid one?

Still a non-argument...

The rules are the rule. If you want to play, then you have to follow the rules.

He broke the rules, he screwed himself.

This is not a debate on weed. It is about following the rules or not. He decided not too. The rule is dumb but it is the rule.
