The NCAA does the drug tests so even if it happened in May it will be a one game suspension. If it did happen the players and coaches already know who will have to sit.

We better hope it isn't an NCAA failed test. If so it's a complete year suspended and the drug doesn't matter

No matter who did what, I think the punishment should be Tuttle, McBride, and Bates suspended for gtech.

I don't have respect for a player who fails a drug test and is suspended.It is selfish and says to the rest of your teammates I don't care about you.Iam more important than you.Kick them all off the team and we will see that crap stop.

Maybe I dont.I played a little past high school and had a coach with a zero tolerance policy. Guess what happened.One or two guys a year got booted but the other 100 plus players I would go to war with. You don't do what's right some of the time.You do it all the time. Getting suspended for drugs is about the most selfish thing a member of a team could do. It screams I am putting what I want to do above what's best for my team.

NCAA only does testing during championships and bowls. School are required to do all other testing throughout year and are required to adhere to whatever their policy is for that school. Thats why some schools get away with more than others without NCAA sanctions. but if NCAA finds out a school did not punish in accordance to their policy, thats when retroactive sanctions (are supposed to) come.

Not true. The NCAA can and does do test throughout the year just not very often and not widespread

well, then....so be it....

Nobody lives in fantasy-land and expects these guys to live like angels....

But, honestly, is it asking too much to expect them to obey the law and stay away from illegal substances that could possibly ruin their college careers? Not to mention hurt their potential draft status with the NFL?

Is that really too high of a standard for anyone?

The truth is we may never know anything. CBJ nor the AD have to tell the media or the fans anything. They could just not play a player in a game and say nothing. In reality, that is how it should work.

There are a couple of key reasons why nothing is being announced right now. First and most importantly, are the student-athlete privacy rights of those involved. You won't ever hear "so and so suspended for flunking a drug test" instead you'll hear "suspended for violation of team rules" or "violating University policy." Not announcing this right now protects the player(s) involved, even though it will eventually come out.

Secondly, not announcing the player(s) right now prevents GT from preparing for it. If you give GT a 3 week heads up that certain players are out, GT can most certainly game plan for those spots looking for an advantage.

So, if there is any truth to this at all, it's smart of Jones to keep it in house until game day.

Ya'll need to work on your laws. Tennessee has some of the harshest substance abuse laws in the country. As long as it's weed or football though.... choose football. You have a lifetime to smoke weed.

Before judgement you should consider that these guys (edit lol) are smoking to manage the pain that comes with the game. It's that or pain killer addiction.
