You people are really reaching now. Plain and simple, its illegal and it is a violation written into the student athlete handbook, end of story.
no one is saying they should or shouldnt but if given the choice, y would a major program do it?
It's also against the rules to take benefits and we all know that every major program is giving something to star recruits or at least turning a blind eye to boosters who do so.
Major programs consistently turn blind eyes to all types of negative behavior and keep stuff on the QT just to keep star players on the field and win games.

if they would had failed a first test and tested positive for real weed the second time it would be a 2 game minumum

so you're saying no one other than the University has access to drug test results? If so...then ya...lets hide that crap...hell...lets hide performance enhancing results also. What the hell?

This is the deal. Drug testing for both street drugs and PED (performance enhancing drugs) are the responsibility of the universities. When a positive screen is confirmed, the school policy is used and no report to the NCAA is required. This saves the NCAA the HUGE headache of testing all universities and crossing into some state's differing laws. The NCAA does test student athletes at major events like national meets and some major bowl games for both illicits and PEDs. That's their gig only. This IS an internal deal-as stated by King Les.
Regarding drug testing, MOST drugs are screened for their metabolites and not the active substance.
A very good website that has gobs of info on drugs and testing that is actually quite scientific and correct is erowid.

All that said, I hate that our boys violated team rules and are suspended regardless of all the differing opinions on the legality or morality of tokin up. We're going to kick Auburn's arse either way. It would've been nice with the full complement. Lessons will be learned and hopefully it'll make our team a bit wiser.

Andif they smoked it while in Tennessee, I think synthetic marijuana is legal there. So now players are getting in trouble for doing something legal. Everything is so over regulated, it is exhausting

simple answer: Guilty till proven innocent.
What's sad is that so many here are blatant statists who think that one of our fundamental American principles (innocent till proven guilty) doesn't matter.
They piss in cups on command and never question it. :gooddog:
