First, who has said that they could have to vacate wins or face sanctions over this other than some speculation here and in the media.     I don't believe there is a real risk of that.
 
By antiquated, I mean one that they don't want to be bound to follow any longer, which seems clear from their decision not to follow it.
 
I'm not convinced that the NCAA is involved.   I mean, I understand that SU reported the incidents, but I think that may have been entirely prophylactic in nature.
 
I don't see how the NCAA can penalize you for failing to follow a rule that you aren't required to have.   Would they penalize us if we chose to implement a rule that all athletes had to acheive a 3.0 GPA to remain eligible then we ignored it and let someone with a 2.7 play.   I don't think so.    
 
If the NCAA had a policy that said anyone found to be taking certain recreational drugs is ineligible than I think we would have a problem having tested and found that to be the case and not acted.   But from what I have been able to tell the NCAA rule only establishes consequences when a player tests positive to an NCAA administered drug test.   It sounds kind of dumb, but could it be the case?
