Not surprised. Stupid kids and their weed.

This seems harsh but it's not far from reality. I know there is strong sentiment and a trend towards legalizing pot in our nation and honestly I don't have a problem with it. I don't see it as any more harmful than alcohol, maybe less harmful. But there is lawful age restriction on drinking as well there should be for pot when it is legalized. Regardless, there is a higher standard for achievement in any field which applies to sports even more so since smoking damages your lungs. Any business manager doesn't want employees under the influence of alcohol or pot and it obviously isn't more unreasonable for scholarship athletes to be held to a higher standard regardless of the legal implications. Bottom line: these young men need to put their old way of life behind them and focus on taking advantage of a great opportunity. They would do well to consider 1 Corinthians 13:11:
