The college football off-season is a time to pick up recruits, get ready for spring and try to put together the best depth chart possible for next year. It's a time to get excited about the ossibilities that next year will bring. The TCU football program is likely doing those things, but they have a few distractions to take care of first. Distractions that include a total of 17 students being arrested in a drug sting that was set up following a six-month investigation. Four current football players were among the 17 that were arrested and they include Tanner Brock, Devin Johnson, D.J. Yendrey and Tyler Horn.
Now according to the report, only five players tested positive for marijuana on a test that took place on Feb. 1. A total of 11 others had trace amounts within margin of error. It's unknown if any of the players that were caught in this drug sting were among the five players that tested positive. But what happens to the players that were caught and or tested positive for drugs?
Well, according to the TCU athlete student handbook, the athletic director and head coach of the program are first notified. They are then sent to counseling, put on probation with random testing and they face possible expulsion, revocation of scholarship and could even be dismissed from the team all together. The punishments are even more severe if the school finds out a student or student-athlete was dealing drugs, as it appears there is zero tolerance for distribution.
