* UK is one of only three schools (along with UGA and MSU) to suspend a player on first failed test.

SEC teams' penalties for drugs not created equally - Yahoo! Sports

From Yahoo! Sports: MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) Players testing positive for marijuana in the mighty Southeastern Conference do not face the one-year suspension that comes from getting busted by the NCAA.

So basically UK has the strictest. And just to put it out there, the team just 70 miles west has one of the weakest policies.

Seems like there ought to be a SEC rule for all schools.

I thought there were rules for all schools in the SEC. ????????
How about TENN ????????
Looserville has always had loose player policies.
So the NCAA gets tuff on academics, but you can do drugs and we don't care. lol

I'll assure you, the sec is no more lenient than the pac12. as far as I'm concerned marijuana shouldn't even be on the list to be tested for. if alcohol and tobacco aren't neither should it.
