Clemson, Ole Miss, Purdue and UCLA are the only universities among the nation's automatic-qualifying Bowl Championship Series conference schools that do not require a member of its football team to miss any playing time after two positive drug tests, a FanHouse investigative study discovered.
However, six universities - Baylor, Cincinnati, Georgia, Kentucky, Miami and Virginia Tech -- have a much stricter policy, suspending its players at least one game for a first positive drug test.
Those are just some of the major differences revealed in a FanHouse study into the nation's biggest football programs and how they deal with disciplining their players for illegal use of street drugs, such as marijuana, heroin, cocaine and ecstasy.
Of the 68 automatic-qualifying BCS programs, including soon-to-be BCS programs TCU and Utah, FanHouse obtained the substance abuse policies of 60 universities through public records requests or from the school's official websites. Each school's policy is as unique as its school colors and mascot, with each program possessing a different philosophy on how to punish a multiple-time illegal drug user.
