HJS {l Wrote}:I see posters mentioning marijuana usage (or even alleged abuse). For better or worse... pot is legal in Massachusetts for recreation. The NCAA has basically decriminalized it (you need to attend an educational class every time you test positive). It is probably something we regularly use in recruiting. Whalepants just have to get comfortable with it or fight the woke tide that brought it to Mass. We all know about Towlie, but if pot laws had evolved sooner, *** ******* may still be living in 66 Comm Ave.
To that end, TOB and Skinner both had kids who had altercations and it didn't effect their employment status. Heck... Skinner's team regularly had significant run-ins with the law and he never proactively kicked kids out (or even suspended them) and he is a BB coaching god. Here's the deal... if Hafley does something that allows the school to void his final 4 years... he's gone. If not, the bean counters will not care that a few alumni who still follow the football program are so embarrassed that they won't even visit the locker room during postgame showers.
I was wondering if the NCAA still tested for it given the legalization across the various states.
If BC had people testing positive for cocaine again (I’m looking at you, Chris Herren) then I think this would be an actual problem.
As for the alleged fight, I think a lot depends on if the student was actually an RA or not. That could be a much bigger deal than a fight amongst students which probably can be dealt with much easier
