Baylor didn't randomly drug test players, regents say

The Baylor football program did not conduct random drug testing for its players under the Art Briles regime, regents say.

In an upcoming book about the Baylor sexual assault scandal written by ESPN's Paula Lavigne and Mark Schlabach, regent J. Cary Gray revealed he discovered the lack of testing during the investigation into how the school handled allegations of sexual assault.

"That was my first realization that this was likely to not end up well," Gray said in the book, according to ESPN.

Other regents noted the team didn't drug test because of the strict rules the school had against marijuana, where more than one violation could end up in expulsion.

"What was really happening was the underlying message to them is, 'Hey, the rules don't apply to you,'" one regent said. "You know, and they have been hearing that since the seventh grade anyway. Some rules do apply to everybody, and telling them they don't apply is not calculated to make them productive citizens."

Another excerpt detailed how one regent was concerned that the team's drug policy made Baylor an attractive destination for player's who wanted to smoke marijuana.

The book entitled "Violated" is set to be released Aug. 22.
