He has never tested positive. He has never been suspended. A few D3 guys don't like that he transferred so they are trying to tarnish his reputation.
Revisionist history and you know it
People talked about the Iowa state guys being banned for a team rule, with everyone saying it was drugs when the news broke, and a drug test being ordered for the whole team before big 12s way before the transfer news came out

Get a life and leave the kid alone. You sound like a miserable jerk.
Dude (S.C.) is strong - what I mean is he's psychologically and physically very strong - U .S. Marine corps type of strong because a lot of people after the Iowa State debacle would have crumbled psychologically and never regained their former athletic level but he's gone on to a new different level despite all the negativity surrounding his transfer and that demonstrates a stoicism and strength of character which portends future greatness. Other individuals might have just faded into the woodwork (and mediocrity) and kept their head down but Seth has had the courage to continue fighting and he's now showing a super impressive level in Division 3 and that shows a strength of character rare for someone facing all these challenges. One has to respect that. Dude is strong.

Wonder if you’re the oasis kid, or maybe one of his other former top 7
What is wrong with you guys? You are comparing a regular kid who is running and getting a college education to a serial killer? Please leave this thread.

Christ, use your brain. It's not comparing him to a serial killer, it's mocking the laughable defense that his family members are rolling out in this thread.
Yes, we should just ignore why he's at a D3 commuter school. Let's not ask any questions!
Defense of what? Thousands of athletes transfer every year.
OK.
How many transfer after showing extremely suspicious improvement? How many subsequently transfer to a much lower level? How many transfer against the backdrop of administrative action against a majority of their team? How many transfer amidst a consistent stream of credible rumors? How many transfer and then clearly organize a defense campaign against any questions? How many transfer to a school and a program that has already acted unethically (Rowan's coach lobbying to get NYU removed from their region) and has a roster up and down full of athletes that have no business in D3, calling into question their adherence to the no-scholarship mandate of the level?
But yeah, you're right, nothing to see here. Let's just pull muscles in our neck rooting for this kid and burying our dicks in sand otherwise.

And I want to be clear, there absolutely is a world where it is as simple as Seth didn't like living in the middle of absolute nowhere, he outperformed in one meet but was otherwise not a meaningful contributor, and that he transferred to be closer to his family after making a dumb but ultimately minor mistake.
But man oh man, the people washing his balls on here make it impossible to root for him and to assume good faith.

My thoughts almost exactly. He was top 20 at Nuttycombe. If he did nothing wrong, there would be a ton of D1 schools offering him money and a spot. But instead he chooses a random D3 (meaning: no $) school, albeit one close to him.
And (just looking at D3 schools) it's also not like he went to MIT or another school that would be an easy explanation for why he went. It's Rowan
What aspect of admitting a guy of this quality to a D3 track program is inexplicable? He instantly became among the best ever D3 middle distance guys. The only question is the circumstances of his leaving Iowa State.

Well, and the school suspending him beforehand for ‘violations.’

If there was an explanation as to what this "mistake" was, a lot of this criticism would go away. Until that happens, people will continue to jump to conclusions.
