Hypothetically, weed, unless it was for pain control.
From the outside, willingly doing things to jeopardize playing in the game seems like letting down the team, but CMC alluded to these absences not taking away from the contributions of these guys.
The positive is Lewis got some valuable reps.
While i do agree with the poster saying that testing for weed is stupid... fact of the matter is that you are correct in your take.
Stupid or not everybody else has to piss clean too. It's not like it's an uneven playing field. Everybody knows the rules.
Stupid weed is illegal, but you have to know you'll eventually be tested for it when you're an athlete.
Easy - get caught with a mullet or wearing a wife-beater and you're most likely drunk Or a hawk.
And the thing is, you have to do it within the program because if the NCAA pops a guy, it's a much worse penalty.
Surprised that we haven't heard anything more "definitive" from some of our posters with reliable sources and inside information.
When I overreact, I'm ALWAYS wrong. You guys should be LOVING my overreactions. I do.
I would not be so sure. Theoretically, he may have never had to attend class, as end of semester would be the first time he could be declared ineligible. If I'm being honest, I hated school, and if I could have transferred somewhere for my senior year to play football and not attend class, knowing I already had my degree in my pocket, I would have.
They're breaking NCAA rules, but those aren't laws. They aren't governed by the NCAA. The pros could help out, though, by saying we won't deal with agents who tamper with college athletes. But they'll never do that.
Careful what you wish for. Do you think ISU could compete with , say, Texas monetarily? I think they should get a little bit of spending cash, to compensate for them not being able to work. Like maybe minimum wage for 20 hours a week. But if you're going to do that, it's got to be the same everywhere.
I'm so glad they played well. It could have been bad news if they weren't as prepared as they obviously were. I also like how Heacock dialed up the pressure knowing his DBs probably wouldn't be able to cover as long. Or knowing that the Memphis OL is not as good as most Big12 OLs.
Correct on both counts. The team knew it for weeks, regarding KCM. That test was over a month ago.
The moral of the story is follow these rules it does not matter who you are and what situation it is, if you don't there are consequences.
I understand the stupidity of the situation, you know the rules - however I have a question. If the state in which the university resides allows for legalized weed, is it feasible for the athlete to obtain a lawyer and fight the ruling?? I cannot believe every company in these states turn their heads - how do they enforce it. Federal/State law?
State laws are state laws, if a team or company wants to set their own rules and expectation for being an member of the team or employee and they want to hold everyone accountable for them, legally I see no reason to fight it as long as the rules were up front with the team or employers members.....
