SMU Drug Policy?

[AustinPerson]

I'm sure opposing fans will be chanting drug references at Pachall and TCU all season long. Before we start throwing stones, what is SMU's drug policy? Do we know what JJones' policy is? Let's be realistic, every college football team probably has to deal with positive drug tests.

I'm not concerned about throwing stones given that we didn't have a large drug bust on campus involving our players.

Not a big deal to throw stones if you're throwing stoned

TCU lied and originally said that FIVE players failed the February 1 drug test. After a player told the police that that number was 82, Patterson covered it up and said "maybe it's 5, and maybe it's 82."

If our school handled a similar situation the same way that TCU has, I would be equally as critical.

Paschel will not be suspended because he went to counseling.

One failed drug test, by TCU standards, means, according to the TCU Student Handbook, section 3.2.10 Drugs, "a. failing a non-incident motivated drug screen one time will result in mandatory drug education counseling and/or required drug treatment."

That is actually about the same standard that all major colleges have. I don't know about SMU because they were not BCS at the time of this article, but you can see that all the major colleges do not give a suspension for the first failed drug test for recreational drug use. What you and Mac Engel are calling for is for stronger sentence than what is given to other football players. Here, is a link to an article detailing the penalty standards used by major colleges. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/15947307/mcmurphys-law-inconsistency-epitomizes-drug-policies

well, you can't really hold a normal student out of a football game.

I think you will want to take a second look at what you wrote here because we have been only talking about college athletes. Students aren't normally drug tested.

incorrect. I never revisit what I post given that 50% of my posts are under the influence.
