Collegiate Drug Testing: A National Survey
   A Salt Lake Tribune survey of all schools in Division I-A college athletics has found vast differences in the way drug-testing programs are administered.
   Using the open-records laws applicable in each state, The Tribune requested detailed information on student-athlete drug testing programs administered by the schools themselves, separate from the NCAA.

    Our standard request sought an accounting of all positive tests; drug testing schedules; records related to punishments for positives; program budgets or allocations by year; policies and procedures; any audits or reports discussing the program; copies of contracts with drug-test vendors; and information provided by vendors in the course of submitting bids to run the program.
    Listed at right are every school's basic responses, and links to narrow the list by conference. Click on a school name for more details on that school's policies and results.
