Any person who has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have possessed, used, or distributed controlled substances or marijuana as defined in chapter 22-42 under circumstances which would constitute a felony under South Dakota law while enrolled at a South Dakota state supported institution of higher education is ineligible to participate in any form of intercollegiate extracurricular competition at any South Dakota state supported institution of higher education.
