This isn't a fricking conspiracy dude

Many epileptics use cannibis oil because it works better than alternatives. I suspect the recruit in question didn't just land on the most controversial of all possible treatments and decide to go with that.

Jesus effing Christ...you really are this stupid, aren't you? You can't comprehend the fact that there are other medications available that are NOT cannibis?

What an idiot.

Can always count on the NCAA to make the hard decisions when it counts.

btw when is UNC getting in trouble for making up classes for their basketball players to take? Never? Oh good.

In all seriousness: WHO CARES ABOUT WEED?!?!

We have REAL opioid and drug addiction problems tearing this country apart, and we're focused on punishing an epilepsy patient for using cannabis oil to keep from collapsing in a heap?

frick the NCAA and frick our hang up with weed in this country.

It was Auburn that told him he would not be able to compete due to the NCAA rule. It doesn't say if AU challenged the rule or asked for any exceptions.

Here is a key part that is missing from the 247 story.

quote:

A few weeks ago, after Auburn coaches and staff took a second look at his medical records, they told Harris' father Curtis that his son could not compete in NCAA athletics while he was taking cannabis oil.


I hate it for the kid, but the title isn't completely accurate.

That's fricked up. The NCAA needs to spend more time cleaning up their own clown act than trying to punish kids for things they can't change.

Maybe Auburn will be a bigger man than the NCAA and still let come be on the team and help him even if he can't get on the field.

This particular gump doesn't give a shite if he ends up swallowing his tongue and goes without oxygen for 3 minutes and suffers permanent brain damage.

Because this particular gump thinks the AU on his helmet means he deserves it.

Auburn likely has a list of banned substances and medications as proscribed by the NCAA, no?

Or are you saying they're just making up shite out of whole cloth?

Just as I thought...here's the part you conveniently omitted:

"Harris is exploring junior colleges and NAIA schools to play football, and is also exploring alternative medicines so he could play football and pass a drug test, according to the report."

If there is a “gotcha” moment within this, I’m missing it

I think you are missing what I wrote, no?

Go read it again. I'm sure you might want to put on your reading glasses first. Let me know when you catch up.
