Has anyone even thought of this aspect: Their team mates are at greater physical risk when those that were trained to be out there can't play. And they're at greater risk if they users are playing impaired, but not caught.
Oh, Bendy...My Okie pick is looking better.
Kudos to Dabo for doing the right thing!
Agreed.
Was it his choice or was this one of the NCAA tests? If it was NCAA, I don’t think he had a choice.
Anabolics or party drugs? If the former there is much more to the story.
I don’t mean to minimize drug use. At all. But this is usually kids getting busted for weed. Very selfish. Bob harps on this in private to the kids every year before bowl games. There’s a possibility at every bowl game that there could be a drug test. At big time bowl games that possibility goes up to about 100%. He basically tells the kids it’s going to happen and if you’re doing something you shouldn’t be doing, stop it right now or you’ll be sent home. Dabo had no choice in the matter.
Hopefully my Sooners don’t have to send anyone home either. I’m not prepared to do a TD dance just yet....
lol
Nope. Soon other fools will be wanting 3 times being excused. And then everyone be excused. For ever. Increasing life’s expectations of I can do whatever I like. Bullshlt.
Like he had a choice??
Bet the house.... this is going to be number 8!
There are plenty of coaches out there who would have hidden the results until after the bowl game. I am not a Clemson fan, but Dabo Swinney has shown himself to be a stand-up guy.
