So 4 dealers and only 5 users on the football team?
Makes sense

If a player test positive twice, he is granted a transfer to LSU

The dealers were obviously selling to more people than the players. The undercover cop for one. Still seems like a small number on the team though. Especially with all the hype made about it.

The only users were also their own dealers...zero sum purchasing...man that is a well contained situation...my my my

only 5 "players" tested positive. tanner brock and the other three are not "players", so the positive pops are up to 9...

If it were just 5 players and it was just Marijuana then this is a non-story OTHER than the dealing issue - that IS a story but honestly is it really a big deal? If it were more players and/or more hardcore drugs then that's something entirely different. After all, IMHO, alcohol is worse than MJ.

I'm just happy 3 of their starters won't be playing against us next year ... unless their backups are better. ;-)

So, SMU had it RIGHT back in the '80s by paying players. Poor dudes had to slang to make a living. It's a hard knock life being a student athlete while the school makes millions on your blood, sweat, and tears.

So it's 9 plus 11 maybes? That sounds more reasonable for a college campus. I agree, the occasional use of mary jane is a non-story other than internal rule-breaks/suspensions. Dealers are another story. TCU will probably take care of this internally (do little to nothing) and this will all go away. Then again, if we had just said "Yeah, Dale, we sent Stanley an insurance form" we would've been okay too.

i agree that a few guys smoking pot during the offseason isn't much of a story. but the fact that 4 players on the team were DRUG DEALERS doesn't seem normal. extrapolating that out, that woiuld mean that on the TCU campus of 9,500, there are 285-380 drug dealers. does that not seem to be a big deal? it sure as heck does to me!

easy there. we had that many dealers on one of our...um, let's say...olympic sports teams back in my day. we also had a child of a certain coach that could easily have been caught up in such a story.

Our day will come, until then, laugh at them

TCU continues to do it right. There is a drug issue and TCU is addressing it. How Patterson deals with it is up to him. I wouldn't be surprised if most colleges and universities had drug issues. At least TCU is doing something bout it.

I agree.

UNLESS more than, say, 10 failed their drug tests and the tests were for all kinds of illegal drugs and some were found in some of their systems.

So far, all I've read is that it was just a few and it was all just MJ. If that's the case, again, I agree and am moving on. Story over.
