Who would have won in 1997: MeCheatAgain vs Nebraska?

I don’t know where you got this idea, but Brian Bosworth was suspended for the 1987 Orange Bowl due to a positive steroid test

Just sayin': Good catch, my mistake......

I do appreciate people pointing out my errors. 1) maybe I won't make the same mistake again, and 2) shows I'm not wasting my time posting as someone is actually reading my posts.... :biggrin:


The NCAA passed legislation banning the use of any "performance-enhancing" substances in 1973, according to NCAA director of sports sciences Frank Uryasz. Uryasz said the ban included steroids, though it didn't single them out specifically.
  • Initial Ban: The NCAA passed legislation in 1973 that banned the use of any "performance-enhancing" substances, which included anabolic steroids.
  • No Enforcement: However, this initial ban was largely unenforceable as there was no drug testing program in place until 1986.
  • Drug Testing Program: The NCAA started its drug-testing program in 1986, making the steroid ban more concrete as athletes could now be tested and penalized for violations.
