    Spurrier is going to have a hard time cleaning up the program with this sort of thing coming out of the a.d.'s office...

    Gamecocks implement new '4 strikes' drug policy

    Under a revised policy implemented last week, South Carolina football players can now test positive for "recreational drugs, alcohol and anabolic steroids" (NCAA banned list) at least three times before being dismissed from the team. The new "four strikes" policy is being implemented by USC AD Eric Hyman just months after star RB Demetrius Summers was kicked off the team for violating South Carolina's old "two-strike" policy.

    Spurrier's got to have something to get these boys capable of playing in the SEC.

    Four strikes?! What the hell did they have before? That is frickin' retarded. I think the SEC or the NCAA should have control over that. I say one strike and you're gone.

    Four strikes?? You've got to be kidding me. I mean, isn't that just sending a great message? "Oh yeah, sure, you can pop positive not once, not twice, not three times, but FOUR times, before we throw your butt off this team." What a great way to groom these players for the NFL. :dis:

    Guess I should have read the entire article. It says:

    Of the twelve SEC teams, only Florida (and now USC) have four-strike policies. Georgia and Vanderbilt both dismiss athletes after a third positive test, while LSU athletes are suspended for a year after a third offense.

    Doesn't sound like we are much better than USC...
