Sex
 

yea, you're supposed to save sex for your multiple wives.

You really can't blame the kid, cause we all know how much sex married guys have.................
:rolleyes:

It is what it is. He knew the rules when he signed. The university had no choice.

:rolleyes:

Wait - so BYU is supposed to be an entire team of virgins?

No wonder the team played like utter sh!t last night - probably not so much because they missed the 3rd leading scorer - but because a fellow teammate was booted for something they all do - but won't admit to.

I can't think of much that would leave me less motivated than to see a teammate booted for something I'm secretly doing but too ashamed to admit.

They do allow socks at BYU Doug so you will be fine.

Exactly.

New Mexico also beat them earlier in the year. I think part of it was the shock of losing him and part of it is New Mexico has their number. Plus BYU is very overrated.

I agree with Dala. Obviously the rules they have in place are ridiculous. But no one forced him to go there. He made the choice and he made the choice to break them. Now he has to deal with the consequences. If he wanted to bang girls he should have went to another school.

If he admitted to drinking coffee, soda or any caffeinated beverage - he would have also been suspended.

I guess the story could have been even gayer if he was kicked off the team because he was caught on tape sipping a cup of Starbucks.

Never knew Mormons had a thing against caffine.

I hope BYU doesn't win another game the rest of the season so everybody at that school has an inner crisis trying to decide what's more important - a once-in-a-lifetime potential Final Four team or some stupid oppressive religious bullshit Boy Scout oath.

They have a right to be a-holes, but other Americans have a right to say they aren't gunna vote for any of them. Romney has zero shot (but please try again, dude.) Keep Collecting those Silver Medals, Red Ribbons etc. Exactly, what base do they allow before marriage?

Oh, it's more important (to them) to punish a guy for getting some. This is important shyt, Joe.

Regardless of how silly we think the rules are, what was the university supposed to do in this case? Were they supposed to change the rule because they have a good basketball team?

The player knew the rules regardless of how silly we think they are. If he broke the rules, its his fault and he and the team have to live with it. Its not like this is some tiny, little known contract clause. This is something that everyone in the university knows before they enroll. That's why so many of them get married while they are still in school.

If the school allowed this one to slide and it got out down the road on deadspin the uproar would be massive and could cause irreparable damage. They really have no choice here.

The hypocrisy comes in there because the Mormon Church has major dollars invested in Pepsi.

Gambling is not an issue, in my opinion, because Las Vegas in large part was funded by Mormon bankers.

The polygamy thing is no longer officially accepted by the church. To them, it was a means to an end as so many men died on the trek out to the Great Salt Lake. The ones that practice it now are offshoot sects that are not officially recognized as LDS.

I think the fact they stood by their code and did what they did kind of refreshing nowadays. Don't get me wrong, I strongly disagree with their beliefs on sex, caffeine, etc. But they have rules and they stood by them. They could have done what 99.9% of schools would have done and just ignored it, but they protected their code of ethics.

Obviously this code is important to the students as well, because didn't the player admit to what he did? How else would anyone have found out about it?

This is one of the funniest threads I have read in a long time, but don't mind me.




More.

Meet the Mudshark.....

Yes, and most anybody (with any common sense at all) will punish them by never voting for a Mormon. They aren't mainstream. So, stay the fk away from being in charge of mainstream people. Period. I give them credit for being arrogant enough to think they should have any job making decisions for mainstream people. They have beach balls. I give them that.

Is that the guy in the background?

BTW- I know BYU is a football school and as such there may be a little more leeway but I have hard time believing that Jim McMahon followed that script for 4 years

WTF Chuck? Brothers can't enjoy the excitment of women's volleyball? :rolleyes:

Maybe beach volleyball

Heard McMahon on a radio show today. He said as soon his last game at BYU (the Holiday Bowl), he was asked to leave the school because of numerous honor code violations, they waited until he had no more eligibility left and then hammered him.

Ty Detmer also stated that they are more strict today than when he played.

Either him or Lavar Arrington

I don't doubt that is the case at all and I don't doubt that many of the rules are broken all of the time.

The problem in this case is that there is no plausible denial. There was a young man on the basketball team and his girlfriend became pregnant. In lieu of divine intervention, I would say chances are he broke the rules.

I wouldn't go there cause I know I'd break the rules. But you can't know the rules going in, accept them, break them, and then cry about having to accept the consequences. What other guys on the team or other students at the university may or may not be doing is irrelevant. At issue is what should the school have done about his situation and as Dalakhani has said, they really had no choice in the matter. I feel bad for the other players and for the coaching staff, especially the head coach who was going to be in a great position to cash in big time had they won a couple of games in the NCAA tournament. I don't feel bad for the kid though. In the grand scheme of things, what he did was very minor. But we are looking at it from our perspective. I applaud them for standing up for something more than just wins and losses. In today's world, that's very rare. Now, if there is leeway given in other instances, that's a different story but as far as I have read, there isn't.

Did she get expelled as well?

She is not a student at BYU

Well, in that case, did she at least get banned from the campus?

..............and then there's Ohio St. Today, they fined Tressel $250k and suspended him for the first two games of next season because he knew about the whole tattoo/memorabilia thing way back in April but never said anything. Of course, it's very nice of them to do this after the bowl game.
