My feeling on the "responsibility" is that if a random philosophy major can get away with smoking weed and not get kicked out of school, the Honey Badger can smoke up too. The NCAA shouldn't be concerned about anything other than steroid use. The football team and the AD and the head coach can decide who plays on the team based on whatever metrics they feel like (with the exception of grades).I'm not getting into a discussion of whether or not pot is bad for you...I'm talking about a acedemic institution's responsibility for their AA's. If it is illegal....shouldn't the authorities be concerned that a public institution is practically promoting the illegal use of a banned substance?

Okay so going on that, when one of your players gets arrested for possesion of pot, as a school do you say, "well let's kick him off the team" even though you have promoted his use by not disciplining him for failing multiple drug tests?
