They have TWO articles up about this.  Weed? Really? This is what you are hitting on right now in college sports? With everything that could and should be investigated and reported on in college athletics, THIS is what they are charging ahead with?
 
And they cite this fact as a driving substantiating piece of evidence:
 
[SIZE=12px][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#333333]NCAA statistics show a bump in the number of stoned athletes. In the NCAA's latest drug-use survey, conducted in 2009 and released in January, 22.6 percent of athletes admitted to using marijuana in the previous 12 months, a 1.4 percentage point increase over a similar 2005 study. Some 26.7 percent of football players surveyed fessed up, a higher percentage than in any other major sport. (The use of other drugs, such as steroids and amphetamines, has declined or held steady.)[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=12px][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#333333] [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
