Players in SEC face more lenient penalties for drug use

  • rompcat said...

    Perhaps I am just misunderstanding something being discussed in this thread, but isn't the SEC schools' policies (and that of every conference and school for that matter) far more stringent than that of the NCAA?

    The NCAA has rules regarding performance enhancing drugs. Schools and conferences set their policies regarding other drugs.

    So, if a school allows players five failed marijuana tests before suspension, it is still more stringent than the NCAA's policy regarding marijuana because the NCAA has no restrictive policy whatsoever. Regarding performance enhancing drugs, the NCAA is responsible for testing and enforcement.

    Am I wrong on this? Reading through the article shows they carefully danced their words to make something appear to be there that isn't there, IMO. Can someone show where it is reported that the NCAA has rules regarding recreational use of drugs that are more stringent than the SEC schools' rules regarding recreational drug use? Can someone show where the SEC (or any other schools for that matter) have rules regarding performance enhancing drugs differing from those of the NCAA?

    This just seems to be blown into something it isn't by taking a phrase in the article out of context. Note: Sometimes editors change titles given by authors in order to draw attention to stories and produce "hits", etc.

    where have you been lately rompcat - missed alot of your posts

    I'm not sure what you are saying. The NCAA suspends a player for an entire year if they fail one drug test. That is too harsh IMO. I doubt you can find a single BCS school that has a policy that is as stringent. My point is that the NCAA shouldn't have such a tough policy on this issue. A year is fine for repeat offenses like many SEC schools do(I know Bama suspends a player for an entire year on the third failed test with the potential to send the player packing). Maybe the NCAA should change their policy to meet it's members policy.

    The NCAA is simply an organization made up of its member schools. If the majority of the schools disagree with a policy then it would no longer be the policy.

    lol dude you are flat out gay and everybody knows it

    You took down a picture of yourself after i made fun of you for it, clear sign of somebody with zero self esteem

    And then locked your home made videos after you knew i was about to post them

    You are a chick dude, go back to the gym so you can take more shirtless pictures of yourself

    Yeah I'm... gay, this is coming from the dude that asked for the pictures over a hundred times in the first place and when you saw my avatar was all over my nutsack. I took them down because I know you fairy ass wanted to Photoshop them to make part of your collection, ass clown. Also blocked your dumbass attempt at trolling and you are mad because I beat you to it. I know a troll and a low life when I see one and that equals you. You live in Wilmington, NC now, if you are brave enough, which I doubt, would you come out talk to me like that in person? Doubt it, since you are the biggest pussy known to man, I know you will make excuses and lame ass jokes while using emicons to dismiss them because that's WHO you are; a punk with no balls who sits behind a computer and does nothing else. You lame and will always be lame, pathetic!

    Reality check needed.

    29 isn't "a young man". By 29 I had been married, fathered two children, bought a house and started a business. The greatest accomplishment of your first 29 years probably was getting to level 7 of some video game.

    Sick burn or not 26K posts on one site in a few years is someone who derives all of their self worth or in your case loathing on the interwebs. Your "I've been banned" drama act of last week is a pretty good example of of your needy nature. If you really need attention I'd suggest a woman but in your case a dog would probably be a more realistic option.

    Feel free not to wait until my age to off yourself. Talking shit to an old man is even sadder.

    Much respect for speaking out the truth, you hit it right on the spot.
