The NCAA only tests for performance enhancing drugs & masking agents. In addition, the Big Ten & Iowa test for common street drugs like marijuana, cocaine, etc. It is my understanding that Iowa's drug testing program is more comprehensive than the Big Ten's.
All Iowa athletes are subject to periodic unannounced drug screening examinations during their participation in intercollegiate athletics. This is done to help discourage the use of illegal substances and the misuse of alcohol and other illegal drugs. If an athlete is not present during the random team testing or supervisory testing without an excused absence, the Substance Abuse Counselor will notify the coach and Athletic Director the absence and the athlete will be suspended from practice and competition until another unannounced test can be completed.
Here is the Big Ten's drug testing consent form.
