Apparently the NCAA changed the suspension length.

quote:

•Reduce the penalty for a first positive test for street drugs during championships; and


What does the "during championships" even mean?

quote:

The penalty for testing positive for street drugs, including marijuana, will be reduced to half a season from a full season. Street drugs are not performance-enhancing in nature, and this change will encourage schools to provide student-athletes the necessary rehabilitation.


When was the last time a player was suspended for a year for smoking pot? Am I missing something?

right, I mean, has this ever happened? The schools even have their own policies.

Georgia's policy calls for a 10-percent of the season (one game in football) suspension for the first offense and a 30-percent of the season (four games in football) suspension for a second positive.

So what is up with this half season stuff? I can't make sense of it.

this is for NCAA test, which dont happen as often as school administered. They also let the schools choose their own policy for rec drugs, so this "change" is kind of a joke for nothing
