Boy, the world has sure lowered the bar. "it's only one failed drug test"?! 30 years ago 1 failed drug test and you were out of school much less the team. Maybe if they had zero tolerance of drugs that would stop some of it. What's next " I only beat my wife once"

I do not know that anyone here is agreeing with the policy, just stating what the policy is. When I was in school it was a 5 year jail term just for possession of any amount of pot. I did not agree with that either but it was the law at the time and if for applied to one you expected it for all even though that was not the case.

When I was art SMU, Candy Barr received ( I recall) over 20 years in the pen for mere possession of pot. Times have indeed changed, but it's still illegal.

Ooohh! I get it now.

As long as everyone else is doing it, we should just let it go. Linda like everyone overlooked the fact that everyone was paying players in the 80's.

Best post ever.

It's the new reality...would be shocked if at least one smu player hasn't tested positive. It happens everywhere and no, that does not make it right.

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."

So if your an incoming freshman then drugs are OK because you are given one "freebie".

TCU has some of the strictest drug polices in Division 1. There are no "freebies."

That's for a non incident. Wasn't the whole drug bust considered an incident? If that's not an incident then what is? What's the ruling on an incident motivated drug screen? If the screen was not related to the bust then let me know.

I thought that the drug screen in question occurred before the drug bust. Could be wrong, though.
