Part three of Sports Illustrated's "The Dirty Game" focuses on what SI claims was rampant drug use on the football team. 

While critics say the SI exposé is a hatchet job by a writer with an agenda, it exposed some legitimate questions.

For instance, SI says assistant strength and conditioning coach Joel Tudman has been in charge of the football program's drug counseling program in recent years. SI says Tudman's not qualified. 

News 9 checked with the state and learned while Tudman may have taken coursework, he's not state certified as a drug counselor. 

News 9 was not able to contact Tudman Thursday. A spokesman for the football program says they are planning a news conference to discuss all allegations on Friday.
