According to the guide book the NCAA starts testing on the 11th month of the suspension.

T REX;n296209 said:I'm not saying kick him out of school but you can't put a season on hold. He cost us this season. And six games next year? Sorry, I'm just not buying that it is a good idea.
It sucks. It was a punch in the gut. And he loses a year of eligibility. I guess I have a hard time putting everything on hold for ANOTHER year and a half. Band-aids all over the place.
Next year was the year I was really hoping to take that next leap. This year is all gravy but next year. Let's get a starter we can rely on.

GatorInKnox;n296235 said:I sure a **** hope so. Apparently he's suspended for a year AND loses a year of eligibility on top of that. So if it's not reduced he'll be a redshirt junior when he comes back next year. I'm sorry but that's extremely wrong to take away two years of a kids collegiate career.

Edit: Although this is from the NCAA website, the source is "staff interpretation". Surely this has to be wrong? Any thoughts Law?
Captain Sasquatch;n296247 said:Pretty sure that's not how it works. He'll be a RS sophomore when he comes back next year. You just can't use a redshirt to cover for the suspension (if you have a redshirt available).
The No. 11 Gators are not facing a forfeiture of any wins. But the suspension could cost Grier 25 percent of his college eligibility, making the redshirt freshman a junior when he returns next October.
GatorInKnox;n296250 said:That's what I've said from the get-go (I've been arguing with Goldcamp at 247) but that link suggests otherwise. My logic was if someone was a true sophomore and tested positive in July they can't just come back as a redshirt sophomore next year.
alcoholica;n296237 said:With Treon, we may still have a shot at LSU. UGA w/o Chubb is doable. Vandy and USCe are very doable. FSU just became difficult.
Also, never underestimate the power of an appeal. Likely won't win, but lawyers can be tricky bastards.
As for the flu theory, has anyone noticed how often steroids are prescribed nowadays? Prednisone is prescribed for any little cough. Who knows what he was prescribed. Keep in mind, just because something is over the counter doesn't mean there wasn't prescription strength that he took.
In all likelihood, he took something knowingly and made a mistake. He's a teenager who F'd up. Let's move on to Treon and let Grier own his accountability.
Grier would not be eligible to return until Florida's seventh game of the 2016 season. He would have redshirt sophomore status at that time, a Florida spokesperson said.
