DJK: Let's just say

[Warhawks77]

Let's say that DJK was not arrested but was found postive on an Iowa Drug test and this was his first offense, would he be playing in the bowl game?

Minus the fact of the arrest, if this was his first offense, which according to the press conference it would have been, did the staff jump to conclusions in immediate suspension?

The holes in the procedures seemed to address this or other issues that the staff is aware of. IE: I felt like between the lines they were saying, Yes, DJK was one that was able to bypass or trick the test. Did anyone else kind of catch that? Just "ironic" as Kirk would say, that we had no idea of DJK's habits but also learned that we may have been tricked because we have a gap in our testing program.
I guess I would like to see a more concrete rule when it comes to drug usage and eligibility.

no. the staff may let a first-offense hot test for marijuana go by with no suspension, but theres no way in HELL they let coke slide by.

I'm guessing a first time coke offense gets anybody suspended for a game, at least. with his past issues, a marijuana test would have probably also got him suspended.

I think there ought to be individual discretion, as they stated there currently is. If a player has been a boyscout, then tests positive for pot once, I'm fine with him playing the next game accompanied by some internal discipline.

according to the NCAA though they are both banned substances. How does our own policy conflict with this? Or does it?

IIRC DJK didn't start the last game because Sandeman had a better week of practice? Then arrested within a couple weeks. That is kind of a coincidence isn't it? Maybe there is more that explains this timing that my old brain is forgetting.

More "ironic" is your referring to the coach as "Kurt"...

As it is, let's just NOT say ANYthing. Let the facts speak for themselves.

Kirk....and not sure it was ironic. I'm still not sure I can consider all facts as I don't feel we have all of them. One fact is for sure though, I'm done focusing on this until it rears it's ugly head again. We have players to support and a bowl game to win. I know that probably contridicts this post. It was really the last question I had....

1st positive test for marijuana: He probably would play
1st positive test for cocaine: Probably won't play

Again, if it were a 1st positive test, we may never know, so there won't be public scrutiny and pressure.
