Booting the pot smokers off doesn't make us superior, it makes us dumb. Our roster is filled with pot smokers either way.

This might be true but neither of us knows for sure. If the drug testing is real, I don't understand how the team could be "filled with pot smokers". But your very attitude that our policies are dumb actually reinforces what you suggest doesn't exist, that UGA has tougher standards that many of our top competitors.

I do believe we have higher standards but my problem is not with the summary discipline but rather with the lack of daily/ongoing discipline that might well nip in the bud problem behavior before it leads to an incident that requires summary judgement. These young men need mentors and why we don't have mentors at least monitoring the behavior of our best players is beyond understanding. Maybe this is part of what's missing from our program that is present in other top programs because they are investing more in additional personnel to assist our coaching staff.
