AP says SEC more lenient on marijuana than rival schools
#1
An AP investigation says that SEC student-athletes who test positive for marijuana receive far more lenient punishments than other NCAA schools.

The league reportedly gives multiple chances rather than the automatic suspensions levied at other NCAA institutions.

Kentucky, along with Georgia and Mississippi State, is one of three conference schools that does suspend for a first offense.


An excerpt:

Georgia, Kentucky and Mississippi State are the only ones with suspensions for athletes’ first positive test for marijuana, 10 percent of the season for each. Kentucky includes possible dismissal for each of the first two positives, with a(half-season suspension for No. 2).

The policy variations continue beyond the first positive test.

Six of the schools have a three-strike-and-you’re-out method. At Florida, you might get a fifth strike. At Arkansas, four. And Ole Miss doesn’t have a defined number.

The use of recreational drugs is a growing concern around all of college football.

The NCAA report released in January found 26.7 percent of football players said they smoked marijuana in 2009 – the latest year available – 5 percentage points higher than in 2005.

NCF, I have an honest question for you. If OSU's athletic department urine tested the whole Buckeye football team today with no warning, how many do you think would test positive for Marijuana?

I would say as many as most college teams.
