Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 2193956, member: 1423"] I have no problem with the policy. We don't want athletes doing drugs at SU. The problem wasn't the policy, it was the way it was written and implemented. In print, the coach was supposed to get drug screen results and take action. In practice, they went to the AD. This was actually BETTER, because the AD's less partisan and doesn't have the same incentive to protect players. So I had no problem with that change, but it should have been reduced to writing. There were other problems with the policy too, that I won't go into. But the idea that minor drug violations were somehow "performance-enhancing" and justified 100+ vacated wins is hogwash. The NCAA punished us for being better than programs that do nothing (UK), but not being perfect. Then again, the COI chairman is now the SEC commissioner. So that tells you something. [/QUOTE]
