Report: SEC’s pot penalties lenient
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Players testing positive for marijuana in the mighty Southeastern Conference do not face the one-year suspension that comes from getting busted by the NCAA.
In the most successful league of the BCS-era, players routinely get third, fourth and even fifth chances before they’re booted from the team; failed drug tests administered by the NCAA result in the automatic suspension.
The finding comes from an Associated Press examination of the drug policies at 11 current members of the SEC. Vanderbilt, a private institution, declined to make its rules available.
And I doubt Mizzou’s addition to the SEC will improve its average.
This isn’t man bites dog news, this is dog bites man non-news. The SEC’s football programs are the worst of the worst when it comes to the cult of black athletic supremacy. Since you “need” blacks to win football games (or you think you do), and since blacks love weed, does anyone honestly think there are any real consequences to black athletes who are caught with weed? Furthermore, does anyone actually think that they’re trying to find black athletes with weed? I mean, most SEC schools’ campus cops aren’t exactly the NYPD when it comes to stop-and-frisk. The only way they’re ever caught is if they leave the sanctuary of their campus, and a regular cop pops ‘em.
It goes further than that. Far from cracking down on weed, I think schools use weed as a recruiting tool. I remember reading about a blue chip football recruit who visited the University of Oregon, and he told his parents that administrators promised him “all the booze, sex and weed” he could handle. The irate parents called the school administration, who denied the part about the weed.
If we started suspending every D-I college athlete of any race caught with weed for a year, it would un-blacken college football so fast that the dork in Orlando with a fax machine would come unhinged. It might be such an “injustice” that that institution in the dateline of this article would start grumbling, even though I have never known the SPLC to infringe on the dork’s territory.
