Yeah we still hate that play. Hopefully we can beat them at home and win the BE regular season outright. Nothing would tick me off more than to share it with Notre Dame and Mike Brey. Someone buy that guy a freaking tie.

This has probably already been covered but
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 is so full of shit.GodfatherX said:
And yeah, this could potentially kill their basketball and football recruiting. What college athlete would want to deal with bullshit like that when you could go to Pac-12 Utah and have all the sex you want?

That's strict, but not Bob Jones University strict...

'Yall tried that....... you lost.......again. You'll probably win this game but you'll know that you never beat this team at full strength. Our real starting 5 will always be undefeated, someone get a bakery to crown our asses. I'm taking the Doc Rivers/Kendrick Perkins approach.
Seth C said:
I saw your post originally. There were 5 games left in the season. If they were going to suspend him for the year, they would've done it. It's not like your going to randomly bring some guy out of suspension during the NCAA tourney.
He was playing awful during that last stretch anyway. Now it's on to Mizzou. I say that's a toss-up game

Well the BB Smith isn't a shock. I mean he's a high-level junior that committed when the BB team was riding high early in the season. I really don't know how much confidence you can put into a HS junior sticking around a mid-major that long. Still sucks, though, but the program will continue to move forward with or without him.GodfatherX said:
As for the other Smith, Louisville fans have been saying he is decommitting since signing day. Unsubstantiated rumor after another. This one may be true, it may not be. Either way, I've never seen a fanbase be so whiny and clingy after this signing. Wasn't he supposed to be faxing in a request for release last week or something according to the "insiders?" Alas, let's not muddy this thread up with FB talk!
Didn't BYU kick off a football player during the last season? I seem to remember that..
Either way, I don't see why this is a big deal. Would I go there? no. There are rules at every university, BYU's are far more strict but you know and agree to that beforehand. There are 1000's of other college and universities you could attend with less strict rules.

Seth C said:Just curious but does Kansas have rules against announcing two game suspensions? Or are all suspensions initially given as "indefinite" with that being defined as "the number of consecutive games against unranked opponents"?
It was basically a probation term. It's not like he stabbed someone and needed to be kicked off the team. Just a reminder to use a bit better decision-making in the future. I'm sure Marisha will be reinstated to the women's team as well.
edit: In all honesty, the suspension was probably pretty over the top. I don't know why you feel it was some super lax false punishment to be lifted the minute a good team showed up. I'm sure a lot of places wouldn't have suspended him. Perhaps, make him come off the bench for one night.
SyNapSe said:
I don't think it was lax. I don't think it was needed, frankly. I think it was silly to ever make it sound like it could be longer than those two games. I think had the next game been against solid competition he wouldn't have been suspended at all, or the suspension wouldn't have been dealt out until the tough game was played. I think it's humorous that an indefinite suspension can be dealt out and the whole world can look at the schedule and accurately predict the length of indefinite, given that is basically the opposite of the definition of indefinite. I think if the whole world knew, so did coach, so just say what you mean. I think if there was a lot of work to do in 2 days and your boss suspended you indefinitely and that suspension lasted exactly the length of time they didn't actually need you at work and ended the moment there was a heavy load, you'd see the humor in it.
I think if Kansas State suspended a player indefinitely and his first game back just happened to be a week later against your team, you'd absolutely see the humor in it.

BYU alum '09 checking in. I think I am a pretty good reference b/c I worked for the Honor Code Office as a senior.
If your friend had the baby before he came to the university, then it might have been a consideration in his application but it doesn't necessarily preclude him from admission. The Honor Code governs your action while attending BYU, not what you did before you are admitted. Once you have resolved past issues of morality, then you will have no problems getting admitted or scholarship consideration.
andycapps said:Yeah about that..
Like I said, Georgia wasn't going to lose that game. LSU is really, really bad. I've got nothing against Georgia though. It's just that while we (Kentucky) would hold the tie-breaker against either Georgia OR Vandy, we do not if it is a 3 way tie.
Seth C said:
Well obviously I'm pulling for us to beat Bama this weekend, you guys to lose, and Vandy to lose. That's a lot to pull for, but UGA needs that bye, badly. Thompkins may be out for Bama as he has an injured toe, and our backup forward may be out as well with an elbow injury. Team is pretty banged up right now.
Did you feel like you were working under Joseph McCarthy? From the outside looking in, that's the only thing I could compare it too.Ecce said:
I'm also curious as to how kids get busted. Do they test for STDs and if you get one, you're done? As I recall, Harvey Unga got the boot for the same thing a year or two ago.
suaveric said:
No, it is a common misconception that there is a "Honor Code Police". The Honor Code is exactly what it's name suggest: a code of honor. The students themselves are expected to come in for, what the Honor Code Office (HCO) calls, "counseling" when they have issues. In my anecdotal experience, I would say that 70% of the students who come in for counseling are self-reporting.
Yes, another student can inform the HCO of another's misconduct. But the students are encouraged by the university administration and the HCO to first to go and talk with the other student that has made a mistake. This hopefully avoids any "tattling" situations.

In this particular case, who knows. "Acknowledge" could mean he self-reported, or he simply acknowledged the truth of another student's report.
Meier said:
I labeled your questions 1 and 2 for easy reference. For and answer to 2, see my above post for how violations of the Honor Code are reported.
1 is obviously a question that is a bit more "vast". I can only answer it by addressing some LDS (Mormon) idealogical principles which are adopted by the university. These aren't really on topic for this thread. If you want a good explanation, PM me.
Good idea, no reason to go off topic. I just feel bad for the guy and his teammates but you can also make the case that he let them down since he knew what was at stake. I looked up Unga after that and it appears that he got his girlfriend (maybe fiance at the time even) pregnant. She had a baby a few months after he left school and then they got married shortly after.Ecce said:
andycapps said:
Our bench players (beyond the 6th man) provide, on average, zero production. I'd have to do the math but I'd suspect that for our team players 7-10 provide, on average, less than 1 point per game.
Edit: I went ahead and ran the numbers. Over the course of the season players beyond our 6th man have provided 2.93 points per game, on average. However, during conference play they have only contributed 0.93 points per game. Beyond that, in 12 of our 29 games they have provided NO points, including 10 of 15 SEC games. If any NCAA tournament team has a bench that provides less I'd be impressed.

Harvey Unga their top RB got kicked off the football team last year for the same thing. He went to the NFL early.
You act as if this is new for BYU.
The nice thing for them is that they have one of the largest recruiting bases in the country thanks to their religious cult, so it isn't too hard for them to find kids who will come each year.

The whole Davies case is totally an intrusion by someone from San Diego State. Slept with Davies, posed as BYU student to tell of the 'incident'. An attack from within. Well played!

New Bracketology out. I know these things are worthless, but its fun to pretend. The Illini would be absolutely ecstatic to get that placement. Weakest 1 seed in Duke (w/o Irving) and weakest 2 seed in Virgin U. George Mason in 1st round? I would take that in a heartbeat.
He also now has 6 B10 teams in with Michigan sneaking in, on account of the conference strength I'm assuming.
