While looking at the paper this morning, I read that in today's FCS NCAA Championship Football game, there are 7 players from James Madison and four players from Youngstown State "suspended".
My question, for you much more in the know than I, is what are these "suspensions" for? If they are serious enough to suspend for this game, surely the NCAA will be handing out stiff penalties to the two schools involved for years to come. Won't they?
After all, we had many devastating penalties (loss of scholarships, giving up wins, losing coaches and ad's, etc) for an allegation against an individual who was later found "INNOCENT" in a court of law.
I'm sure I don't have all the facts straight here, but I would really like to know what gives here?
:roll: :?: :roll: :?:
 
NCAA does drug testing during the playoffs. It's supposedly completely randomized but they grab a handful of guys off each team for testing . It is the only time they do it, yet a bunch of athletes are dumb enough to still get caught. This is how our own JR Nelson was suspended.
 
Look at AnygGvenSaturday.com. My recollection is that it's a variety of things, but the early speculation was alot of bad drug tests earlier in the playoffs for a number of them.
 
So they should all miss the first six games of next season (unless they're seniors), correct?
 
Would these shrugged off "bad drug tests" not indicate that a law of illegal drugs being used was broken. If failed drug tests are indeed the cause of the suspensions, then the test apparently leaves no doubt of the guilt involved. Would appear to this old fart that there is a double standard here.
 
Well, I would make pot brownies mandatory for all mankind, but might hold players out of games where they knew they were going to be tested, but took them, anyway ... on the basis that they must have suffered brain damage in order to have done that.

Yeah, we definitely need to arrest more college students who decide to try a pot brownie.

I was talking about College Athletes, not students, nor did I say one word about "arresting" or "Pot brownies" did I? I think you're missing my point, but it obviously doesn't matter anyway... Have a good one..

It's a good question. A lot of these guys had to sit out 2-3 playoff games as they were suspended early on so I'm not sure if those games factor in.
 
Make pot legal! Then those that chose to use it won't cause any problems for the NCAA! Grannies brownies will be just another brownie.

Almost all of the players were suspended for 1st Semester grades which come in between the Semis and the Natty.

It wasn't grades. Look at the AGS threads. Look at this.
