You remember yesterday when I mentioned that Auburn was caught doctoring grades and giving money to key football stars?
It gets worse. Another report released by ESPN shows that they also didn't report failed drug tests. The drug in question was synthetic marijuana commonly referred to as "spice." Since the University wasn't technically obligated to report this particular drug use, when players failed it's test, they just continued to let them play. One player failed the test seven consecutive times on weekly tests and was still allowed to play on the team.
The effects of the drug may also have been responsible for another scandal that hit the university a few years back, when three of the players went on an armed robbery spree while high on spice.
Big money produces big corruption. The NCAA football programs are ripe with it. Auburn happened to get caught.
