he wasn't "out" because their coach decided to dress him making him eligible to test.
I don't think it is excessive either. The rules are the rules. All this stupid slap on the wrist shit is for panzies.
These kids are sat in a room before every season starts and given the rules. You break them you pay the price. Period.
The article said that the NCAA could even test an injured athlete not dressing, back at the campus.
The article also said that a school set it's own punishment for testing positive. Michigan was stricter than most. It would be 3-5 games if it were a school administered drug test (at Michigan.) The NCAA has schools do testing, and it does testing. Two different things. The school is responsible for its own punishment, the NCAA does one year first time, life ban, second.
I don't see anything to indicate that the NCAA is a corrupt, useless organization, when college sport desperately needs a good, effective one. I agree with all those that have pointed out the hypocrisy of the organization. But does anyone actually think this guy wasn't singled out and turned in for payback?
