Performance enhancing or not I wouldn't disagree with a one year suspension. I'm getting sick and tired of this crap. It's embarrassing to the program. Spare me the "it's a college kid what do you expect" argument.

Its a college kid, what do you expect?

And I mean that. Really... and the reason is because their viewpoint of the world is completely different than yours.

You can be "Sick and tired of this crap" or as my one buddy likes to say, "When will these kids ever learn"

And the answer is, they aren't sick and tired, and they'll never learn. For one very obvious reason, they are always new kids that do it. I don't know how old you are, but for me, lets say, if Eddie George were still the tailback at Ohio State, and Eddie George was still once every few years getting busted for whatever... I'd be on your side... but Eddie George becomes Pepe Pearson and Mike Wiley and Jonathan Wells and Maurice Clarett and Lydell Ross and Beanie Wells and Carlos Hyde and on and on and on, a new 18 year old kid, with an 18 year old world view every time. If Spence really did get dosed without his knowledge then even more of a not so big deal. Maybe he knew the drug rules, and now maybe he... and the guys on the team right now (but not the ones in 2018) will have a better perspective on who to trust and how to act... but, there will be more 18 year olds, and more problems. If this is the worst of it, we're lucky.

This is absurd. A year for testing positive, reduced to three games for being dosed. That's like getting suspended a year for robbery or three games for getting robbed. If the B1G think he did something that was against their rules then they should have at least stuck to their guns and denied his appeal. This reeks of another "let them know we're still in charge" kind of move from the powers that be in college athletics.

Don't know WTH the Spence family would sue over. That said, given the conference's track record on the field, why would anyone think that they know anything about performance enhancement?

Also, pumpkin this guy for spiking Noah's drink:

That wasn't the reason the suspension was reduced. Did you not read the Ozone article or did you just come to your own conclusion?

From the article:
"According to the report, Spence's father said the conference originally suspended Spence for a year because the Big Ten considers ecstasy a performance-enhancing drug.

The family appealed the suspension, and it was dropped to three games because the NCAA considers ecstasy a street drug, which carries a lesser penalty, the report states."

Ozone.net is reporting that the suspension is reduced not because they believed he was drugged but because the NCAA considers "X" a street drug which only carries a 3 game suspension, whereas the B1G considers it a PED with a 1 year ban.
