People offer information all the time so they can seem helpful, maybe he's just a helpful guy? And based on our past history with suspended players, it was a pretty safe bet. However, he's 100% incorrect. I'm not calling him or you a liar. Maybe the guy he talked to on OM's staff is a liar, or just guessed what happened and told your friend the wrong thing. Who knows.

Besides, Bolden has never been disciplined before (except through the buddy system when his buddy got in trouble) and has never had an issue with drugs in his entire time here. If it's MJ like your friend says, it makes no sense that he'd suddenly burn one the week of the Bama game. Especially when he knows that the entire team takes a piss test every Monday. It just doesn't fit.

Of course you are.

But it does make sense that in 4 years on campus of never being disciplined - for anything - that he would choose now to miss a class, study hall, or some other academic BS?

Of the players suspended you had 2 Srs, 1 JR, and 1 SO. So after a combined 13 years on campus this is their first run in with academic issues?

Again, maybe you are right. Maybe I am wrong. We'll never know for sure b/c it is much easier to publicly announce "suspended for academic violations of team rules" than to put a guy completely under the bus and say "failed drug test".

Also - FWIW - most colleges do not suspend a player for their first failed drug test if it is pot. Just something to keep in mind. Perhaps not his first time.
