"You need to brush up on your human physiology. With a half life of less than a day (hours) any trace of it will be totally out of the in less than 48 hours."

This is not necessarily true. It depends on the amount of dosage you take. For instance if the test limits (low end sensitivity) is 10 ul, and the person being tested takes 1000 mg of a substance. Then let us assume the half life of the drug is 24 hours with renal clearance. Assuming the renal function is good, it is possible for the drug to be found in the patient's urine sample up to several weeks after the dose.
1000 mg = 1000000 ug
1000000 / 2 (half life of 24 hours)= 500000 day 1
500000 / 2 = 250000 day 2
250000 / 2 = 125000 day 3
125000 / 2 = 62500 day 4
62500 / 2 = 31250 day 5
31250 / 2 = 15625 day 6
15625 / 2 = 7812 day 7

Essentially, if you do the math, the drug is detectable up until day 16.
I know that most of the drug testing we perform is very sensitive and quite capable of detecting the presence of metabolite or the drug itself in concentrations up to 10 ug easily. I am sure the NCAA is using similar technology.
