BYU Basketball Player Brandon Davies Kicked off Team for Having Sex

Brandon Davies was dismissed from BYU's basketball team after he admitted to having sexual relations with his girlfriend, the Salt Lake Tribune reported Wednesday.BYU's honor code forbids students from having premarital sex and instructs them to "live a chaste and virtuous life." The newspaper reported that Davies met with school officials on Monday...

University spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said an honor code review is under way to determine if the BYU sophomore will be allowed to remain in school, as well as his status with the team next season.

BYU's honor code also requires students to be honest; abstain from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee and substance abuse; and attend church regularly...

No one discussed details of what occurred with Davies after the game but BYU coach Dave Rose discussed the school's controversial honor code.
"Everybody who comes to BYU, every student if they're an athlete or not an athlete, they make a commitment when they come," Rose said of the school's honor code. "A lot of people try to judge if this is right or wrong, but it's a commitment they make. It's not about right or wrong. It's about commitment."

I understand the argument that he knew what he was getting into when he went to BYU...but I dont care. I dont like it, I disagree with it, him being thrown off the team for such a shitty shitty rule.
