i think the best part of the whole thing is that he was randomly selected because he officially dressed for a game in which he was never going to play.

fail a drug test, make a million dollars in the NBA*. Not a bad trade off.


*maybe

perhaps mcgary is a master genius. perhaps he caught wind of the drug test and purposely failed it so that he could draw negative attention to the ncaa and simultaneously provide for himself a guiltless exit from college.

Nice way to cap off your college career. Michigan man, indeed.

He was a helluva cheerleader, though...

also, has anyone ever heard of a year long suspension for a first offense positive drug test? that seems a bit fishy to me.

NCAA administered test. If Michigan had administered the failed drug test, it would be a few weeks.

Man, I hate me some Wolverines, but this whole fiasco just underscores that I think I hate the NCAA even more. What a center of hypocrisy that organization is.

The only thing surprising is that it wasn't meth. I mean, come on....look at the guy and tell me he doesn't look like he belongs in Circleville.

Where is the hypocrisy in this story?

Whoops...

His teammates convinced him to dress for the game from what I read.........bigger whoops.

Not his teammates but his coach

Less than two weeks later, McGary "dressed" for the Wolverines' Sweet 16 game against Tennessee. He was never going to play, but coach John Beilein thought the sight of him in maize and blue on the sideline, pumping up his teammates, would add some enthusiasm. Michigan eked out a 73-71 win.

I heard on the radio that it was more coincidental that he had just dressed. That even if he didn't he would have been chosen and still have to take the test. But not sure where they had heard that.

NCAA is a joke. In football they can really screw up a player with this kind of shit. But in basketball the players can just leave. At least they have a new tag line:
The NCAA, preventing student athletes from staying in school.
