BYU Player Suspended For Having Sex

I'm too lazy to set a usertitle.
He should ask to be released from his scholie, he and g/f immediately transfer to the S. Dakota St. so he can play for the Jackrabbits (and fuck like them too).

But but how dumb is it to go to a school and agree to something like that?? I don't blame BYU...they're Mormons. I blame someone for agreeing to something like that....they're morons.

well, i think it's rather absurd to rule on personal life.

not so ubsurd? He is going to a religious university - on a scholarship, follow the rules or go elsewhere, he had other schools to go to but choose BYU - deal with it! I may be in porn, but rules are rules, and whether we like them our not if you know them follow them. Especially if they are paying for your education!

I can see both sides. If you agree to absurd rules..honor your agreement or go somewhere else. However, BYU having been founded by a man upon a religion who's members routinely flouted laws against polygamy isn't really in a moral position to be sticklers for rules.:cool:

Well, I'm a San Diego State alumni, and an avid fan of the SDSU men's basketball team. A big part of me is wondering when the university (BYU) was made aware of this "Honor Code" violation. Something tells me that the administration was aware of this before the Cougars played SDSU last weekend, and just waited until after the biggest game of the season for both teams to go public with it, I would bet on it. Seriously, BYU @ SDSU Saturday, and this info is released on the following Monday? That seems like way too convenient of a timeline for this to have been addressed as "promptly" as they are making it out to seem. Of course this feeling could just be my sour grapes at the fact BYU trashed us on our home floor. But, still...

If this (my theory about avoiding action until after the SDSU matchup) is indeed true, I really fail to see the "Honor" in any of it. The "Honor Code" is simply a tool of the BYU administration to apply whenever, however and to whomever they please to control the students and ensure complete control over them. And what if this had happened to lilly white, golden boy Jimmer Fredette, and not black, role player Brandon Davies (both are non-members of the Mormon church BTW)? Would the outcome/punishment have still been the same? I sincerely doubt it.

Live by the code and die by the code, I suppose. Unless your name is Jimmer Fredette and you are the nation's leading scorer. Cougar fans, say goodbye to the Final Four! :2 cents:

FreeOnes is pumping through my veins!
I feel bad for the rest of the BYU basketball team because they had a chance to winning the ncaa tournament with Davies. Now they would be lucky to get into the Sweet Sixteen.

He chose to go there knowing the rules and he broke them, sucks for the team.

Exactly my thoughts. Yes, it's a dumb rule in this day and age to most of us, but he chose to get a free ride at a religious school where they have different rules. :2 cents:

In fairness to the player, I highly doubt this was a point of emphasis when they were recruiting him and they accepted his signed LOI.

This is a stupid as fuck rule, but this guy grew up near B.Y.U. so he had to know what he was getting into when he signed with them. He should have just went to Kentucky. Calipari wouldn't have given a fuck. I read that whole article twice. There are some pretty weird rules you gotta abide by to go to that school.

#1 seed here we come.

Oh yeah, it's his own fault and BYU was overrated anyway. Everybody wins.

No matter how dumb it seems; he chose a mormon college, he knew the rules, he broke them.

Soooo... having religious standards and enforcing them is... dumb???


Maybe I'm missing something here.


Abstinence is far from stupid, in fact, it should be considered amongst the most highly respectable things someone can commit to, especially now. How dare a religious-based school have a rule that you can't be fucking there. What's next? Churches adopting those same principles? Whats the world coming to where morals and standards are still being taught.
