Headline: "Valparaiso's Micah Bradford and Mileek McMillan suspended after arrests for marijuana possession"

I wonder how these sorts of things are going to be treated in what may be the not-so-distant future:

https://thesouthern.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/marijuana-bill-will-likely-be-at-top-of-the-agenda/article_f9375069-a42b-5383-85ef-32e49725049c.html

...from the piece: "Now, with support from Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, many lawmakers want to legalize it for adults entirely under state law, even though it remains a criminal offense under federal law."

The won-loss records of professional and college sports teams near-and-far have suffered from suspensions resulting from marijuana usage.

But the times...they are a-changin'.

(1) US COVID-19 statistics (February 29, 2020-June 16, 2020): 2,124,000 reported cases and 115,052 deaths
(2) Donald Trump (June 15, 2020) told a group of senior citizens that there would be very few cases of COVID-19 if the US stopped its testing and contact tracing: "If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, actually."
(3) Donald Trump [(Jan 20, 2020), when asked if he's worried about a pandemic]: “No. Not at all. And we have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s — going to be just fine.”

...makes for interesting reading, and thought-provoking comparisons to situations closer to home.

Valpo would be wise to move on from Lottich after next season. It's pretty evident he's lost control of the program.
