Tracy needs some help and I hope the coaches and staff should provide him with all the support they can. He is a buckeye, committed to play for us, something just went wrong along the way. The staff owes his parents that much. That said I hope to never see him in scarlet and gray. Whether or not the coke was really his. He got in a huge fight, smashed a bottle on someone's head, had the opportunity to walk away and kept fighting. We don't need guys like that on our team.

Disagree entirely. The staff, the program and the university owe him NOTHING! He was given a great opportunity that 99.99% of high school football players never get and the chance for a world class education thrown in to boot. He pissed it away and embarrassed his teammates, coaches and university in the process. You said it yourself: "he smashed a bottle on someone's head." Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's lucky that he's not sitting in a cell right now facing manslaughter or 2nd degree murder charges. Cut him loose and good riddance.

Defense attorney Mike Duff said he had Sprinkle’s blood, urine and hair tested for drugs after he was released from jail and the results were all negative.

Prosecutor Barry Motsch said the results of those tests and conversations with the police officers involved in the incident led to the reduced charges that comprised the plea agreement.

He said Sprinkle hadn’t been causing problems for officers who had been called to the scene of the melee outside the bar. Motsch said several people appeared to want to fight Sprinkle and he had disobeyed several orders from police to leave the scene.

Good news. Should leave the door open for a return to the team.

How do blood tests prove no possession?

I think his blood tests reasonably imply non-possession, considering he was never found to be in possession of anything. A number of suspects were worked through the back seat of that cruiser for ID and interview. Sprinkle happened to be the last one in the cruiser when a search revealed coke wedged into the seat. It was never, and could never, be conclusively proven the coke was his and had not come from any of the other suspects that sat in the same seat before him.
