Word going around campus is that Marshall got caught smoking weed during study hall last week with another athlete. Apparently this is his 10th time being caught. Also apparently, the other athlete is going to miss 2 games (non football) and marshall will just miss a few practices. Has anyone else heard anything about this?


That was my first clue that this is bogus.

Calling BS on this. The Athletic Department policy states that a second positive (assuming his citation last summer was considered a "first positive) calls for a loss of 50% of the rest of the playing time for the year. From the policy:

Playing time penalties will be as follows for positive tests (second positive):

a) Marijuana / Synthetic Cannabinoids: (if the first positive test result was for marijuana or voluntary disclosure, Penalty Level I offenses) suspension for 50 percent of teams competitive season, Penalty Level II.

Unless the other athlete only has 4 events left on her schedule. her rumored suspension does not seem to match up to the policy either as no loss of playing time is required for a first offense (though the coach may impose a harsher penalty, but NOT more lenient, than stipulated by the policy).
