Dear Lord, please don't tell me we're talking about that running back from the 1A school?
I might be wrong, but Vinny's biggest off-field issues happened in SF in NFL. Stu's off field issue happened well after his playing days at Purdue. I do not recall any Purdue issues that led to suspensions for either player that I recall. They could have been locker room headaches for Joe Tiller...I don't know.
There have an always will be mistakes while at college and during downtimes. I believe before game one even kicks off, if there is an arrest issue, that is a WARNING sign. Am I disappointed? Yes. Can Tirek change his ways and become the player on and off the field that we hope makes him a better young man? Yes, I hope he does.
I think the punishment was handled in house. If it hadnt been Stu, there probably would have been a suspension.
I hope they give the kid a break. It's just pot. It's exceedingly stupid given his role/situation at the university. I mean, he's not a "regular student." But it's just pot.
If there's anything concerning it's that the amount implies more than personal use.
But who knows, maybe he's minoring in "independent pharmacy."

If you have to smoke weed THAT bad while you're attending a top university on an athletic scholarship you may have to rethink your priorities. If he spent 4 to 5 hours driving to the nearest "dispensary" in the neighboring state, he doesn't have his head on straight. You're not only putting yourself in a position to lose your scholarship, you're also putting yourself in a position to lose your future. It's illegal in Indiana, and until it isn't, you've got to be smarter. And I doubt even if it was legal, that the program would condone it.
You do realize that marijuana use is fairly common among football and basketball players, right?
If the drug test would reveal he was using, what is the repercussion?
I think we all agree, dumb mistake. By now, he must realize he'll likely be part of the "random" drug tests sooner than later. Hope all of it stops for his sake.
A lot of NFL players use it for pain remediation, since side effects are minimal (especially compared to other pain relievers)...
Do you have a source on that?
The most recent info I could find was that they raised the threshold for a positive test (in 2019), and still test for it (listed with "street drugs" like heroine), but the penalty still shows loss of a year of eligibility and suspension for 365 days.
After typing that, I also found this recent info, which seems more updated, and was reported by the Exponent: LINK
...and summarized with the graphic, below
Edit: Given the amount, my guess is he will fall somewhere in the area where it's handled more ... "severely", shall we say.
I have never understood why gifted athletes, who have better opportunities ahead of them than most people, are willing to give up a future for a high.
I am still puzzled by the Len Bias death.

that fact is irrelevant. It’s still against the rules he must play by.
Somewhat related, i live in a state where it’s legal but work at a site with no tolerance. Guess what happens if I test positive?
Sure it is. Most players are smart enough not to get caught.
Speaking of irrelevant.
on this, we both agree. he knows what the law is, what the rules are and still believes himself to either be above them, or they don't apply to him.
Straight to the NFL
Painter sat him in a corner and forced him to read a string of your posts for 10 straight days. The Trustees deemed it torture and made Painter stop that form of punishment...
Records reflect, I never said name. Alluded to team. Just saying...I’ll withhold name. If/when the time is right, I will use it though.
I ate crow several months back. I may double down a few years from now.
It's over.
He didn't get offers.
Move on.
Goodness. Now it's just getting weird.
Bigs has been hacked. No way he would start a sentence without capitalization nor only write one sentence.
I did move on. I didn’t get caught with 30 grams of dope, Murphy did! I can keep my eye on the news to see how things play out. That is basic Freedom of Speech right.
I freely admit the tenuous relevance of my statement. However, point being that even if legal in Indiana, he’s got to be smarter. You have to play by the most stringent rules applicable to you.
Do you know how many times the coaches tell these kids not to do anything stupid. Don't embarrass themselves, their team, their school. And then this knucklehead goes out and does exactly what the coaches said not to do.
I'm all for giving second chances, but when you're given a $200,000 scholarship and the opportunity to get a degree from Purdue, I have a hard time tolerating someone who doesn't value that opportunity.
(yes, I did a lot of dumb $hit, in fact, some really dumb $hit, when I was 18-22 in college, but I wasn't an athlete on a full ride who's name ends up in the paper or social media when I get caught).
Nobody questioned your rights.
And, no, that's not moving on.
He's gone.
Let
It
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oh, and a
for good measureQ
Should have went to Burger King!
Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce, 30 grams won’t upset us, all we ask is that you let us, have it your way at Burger King!
Let me guess - you lose your job? These kids dont get that playing sports is their job, and the university (us) is/(are) paying their salary. The are here to win prizes for us, and they are being compensated with a better opportunity than the vast majority have. I am going to put this in caps: THEY ARE NOT ENTITLED.
