Seems these BCS schools always "suspend" their drug using players only for a few weeks during the off-season.......does anyone else find this a little ridiculous?

If school didn't work out for them they can always find work on one of Arkies chicken ranches.

The failed drug tests, do those require the year lose of eligibility, ie Ray Brown, or was his because his was during a randum test during the NCAA?

Or does the NCAA look the other way because its Arkansas?
