FTA: If and when they meet up with a big-six conference powerhouse, they will need everything they have down low to bang against the other teams' centers.

Wonder if the writer intended to get all Freudian??? Seems like the player has been using the down low to bang against already.

the author must not have been able to help himself.

Davies apparently had scholarship offers from some PAC 10 and Big 10 schools, so there were probably upwards of 100 D1 programs that would have given him a scholarship, where he could have fornicated all he wanted.

I recall several years back (maybe 10 or more) a BYU football player was kicked out (or off the team) for having consensual sex outside of marriage.

As long as BYU is making the rules clear when they recruit these athletes, the school has every right to enforce them.

Good for BYU standing fast and setting a good example. Too long people have gotten away with violating ethics and morality, especially athletes.

"He’s not the only one breaking the rules, he’s just the one who got caught."

Yes, but at most schools staring at a #1 seed, the star center seldom gets "caught" when it comes to breaking a rule.

Mormonism is still a cult, but hats off to BYU in this situation.

On the other hand, if all the BYU students who have been having sex were dismissed from the school, getting into BYU would be a lot easier.

IMHO the writer is having a little fun here . . .

He should tell them he has several golden tablets, fortelling that his girlfriend will give a virgin birth, but an angel has told him no one else may see the tablets.

I'll bet he's current or paid off on any student loans as well.

They have a fairy small student body too, don't they? Which makes their story all the more remarkable.

True, but then why do they call it an "honor" code?

Honor codes are “garbage”?

ROTFL! If his last name were Smith, I’m sure it would work.

But, getting into a BYU coed would likely become a lot more difficult.

It’s mandatory in the NFL, not as much in the NBA.

At least they’re not aborting.

Wasn't Hillsdale the place where the college president was banging his daughter in law?

I have a feeling the people who dismissed him from the team aren’t necessarily basketball fans. Not many of those academic types are.

I have no problem with the actions of BYU in dismissing this guy. On the other hand, maybe the Mormon church should change the name of the school to something other than the name of a multiple serial adulterer.
