I just wonder if any of the coaches atthese big time programs would be just a brave to do such a thing.

This might be a whole new topic, but what do other HS's have for no drinking / no drug policies?
From the incident mentioned above...While it didn't actually destroy their season, and the suspensions were from the sports activity only, the suspensions were severe enough to set a precedent. It also impacted almost all the sports teams throughout the rest of the year. If you were a baseball player and you attended that party, your sports suspension was for several of the baseball games the following spring.
And this summer the Board of Education approved a new policy that includes all extracurricular activities, not just sports teams. So if a member of the robotics team gets caught drinking at a party, or voluntarily attends a party where alcohol is served, they receive a suspension from the team's activities.
