In February, four football players were among 17 Texas Christian University students arrested in a campuswide drug sting. Linebacker Tanner Brock, safety Devin Johnson, offensive tackle Ty Horn and defensive tackle D.J. Yendrey are charged with delivering a quarter-ounce to five pounds of marijuana to undercover agents. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram also reported that five TCU players tested positive for marijuana and another 11 had trace amounts within the margin of error after a Feb. 1 test.

The TCU sting involved a variety of drugs.

Does anyone really care if our players go home after practice and smoke a little weed? It's harmless. I'd rather they smoke than drink.

I would say that the marijuana problem is about even at every college football program. I do not think that it swings very hard one way or another on average. Probably the biggest difference you would have is Univ of Miami vs. Naval Academy. But for your run of the mill D-1 football locker room, there is going to be some guys that smoke and some that don't. I would be so bold as to offer that the averages are very similar to the kids in the non-athletic dorms.

The think about 80% of TCU's team testing positive, I highly highly doubt that.

While I never used, I was one of the many people who drank while underage. It happens on every campus.

Does anyone else find it a little ironic that this article was written the day before 4/20?

It's also the only way I've ever enjoyed the "food" served at Ford.

The "variety of drugs" was charged to only two people among the 17 initially arrested. One of them wasn't a TCU student. For the other 15, the charge was marijuana in misdemeanor amounts. In a few cases, the FWPD lured the sale into a drug-free zone to automatically juice up the charge from misdemeanor to felony.

College students using and selling small amounts of MJ... what a news flash.
