BYU Dismisses Men’s Basketball Player for Having Premarital Sex
In a society where pregnant teens are rewarded for their promiscuity with fame and fat checks, there are still bastions of morality left somewhere in this country.
Brigham Young University (BYU) is standing by its controversial decision to kick standout center Brandon Davies off the basketball team for having premarital sex with his girlfriend. As a result of Davies’ dismissal, BYU (27-3) dropped its next game to New Mexico in an upset.
Davies himself revealed his violation of the school’s honor code in a meeting with school officials. The 6-9, 235 lb. sophomore told school officials that he had sexual relations with his girlfriend despite taking a vow to “live a chaste and virtuous life.”
According to ESPN, “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 faces a wave of criticism for dismissing Davies from the team, but many in the BYU community applaud the school’s decision.
“Everybody who comes to BYU, every student if they’re an athlete or not an athlete, they make a commitment when they come,” said BYU coach Dave Rose of a code that also forbids use of alcohol and coffee and requires students to be honest and attend church regularly. “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.”
Thanks to loyal reader Nicole B. for the tip!

I read this online this AM, I think this is totally freaking awesome.
As I learned in the Navy, “Have the courage to honor your commitment”
I wish more people, schools, businesses would stand for something so we won’t keep falling for anything..
wowwww.
He Is FYNEEE Owwww! Post more pics Sandra!
Then why name the college “Bring’em Young” then?
j/k
*tilts head back like Flav* WOWWWW
lol NEXT!
Yeah, Good point lol!
I wonder if has recommitted to his vow? Hmmm, either way, we can hash it out together
My old neighbor when to BYU…it’s a Mormon school. They girls aren’t allowed to wear pants I don’t think. I could be wrong about that though
. But they can’t smoke or ingest alcohol or caffeine…not even tea.
this has happened before at the school so why is this news? u know what type of school ur attending and playing for when u enrolled
I’m sure that’s not the only violation/violator on the team I just wonder how he got outed….
find this out k? @Candi
oh yeah @Topic….damn, too bad
it said he told them himself
i’m sure a lot of them are sexing it up there…they just haven’t been caught
i think flashy is a male *turns to flashy and awaits confirmation*
Is this a school for preist and monks?
I would never send my child here…You suppose to get drunk and have sex in college…that’s what the hell its for…
What kind of school is this?
What about forgiveness? If he repented and asked for forgiveness, why is it still an issue? We all fall short some time.
So is everyone following these rules? (Administrators, coaches etc?)
everybody can’t know everything
Oh & he’s dumb for admitting to having some pleasure….
So how are they suppose to make it through school…I bet its a bunch of gays and lesbians at that school…
cause if they aint
each other…then they 
one another..if you catch my drift
I most
the Recruiter for this school….Nicca must be a used car salesman to convince topo prospects to come to the school…with no sex o alcohol….NO CAFFEINE..fluck that. 
so instead of him repenting and being there for him they are gonna wipe their hands clean of him? thats not very christian
I think I would understand better if he had said he smashed 8 bishes in 7 days..
@chiby
I can assume how fun ur college experience was
but they have rules for a reason
Nice looking guy. Someone must have told the school something before hand unless they just randomly ask that question to students.
i don’t think most of us will understand byu’s rules
though i am a pure and innocent virgin and don’t drink the devil’s brew i wouldn’t go to the school knowing how strict they are…y’all know i love my caffeine
It’s a Mormon school….so You can’t have sex until your married….but when you do get married you can have any many wives as you want…so Marry young and marry often… #teamloopholes
*waits with Candi for this confirmation*
hmph
Why would he trick on himself (I don’t think he did) if he knew what the consequences would be unless there’s more to to the story?….
I have 2 brothers; 1 married and 1 engaged (virgin) as well as a sister that all attend BYU. I like the policy myself! I just wonder…who told on him
He would not have got caught if he didn’t knock his gf up.
I wonder if they would have acted as swift had it been Jimmer?
Aint no way in HELL I would have enrolled there. I dont give a chit, if they was giving full scholarships and Benz…
No sex, alcohol or WEED… Hell those three things are the reasons I even graduated…without their help, I would have dropped out the first year…
This school is for lames….
*taps Flashy on the shoulder* Please see #12 and #14, you aint been around long enough to ignore nobody… thanks.
@anna, is that what had happent? Okay thanks!
@renegadesince1985 Girls ARE allowed to wear pants at BYU
Right…thats how them holy rollers roll… I run from those type of “christians”… and I surely dont want them praying for me or laying any hands on me…
Lmao
If you gonna break the rule of non-martial sex…you might as well break the Mormon non-belief in contraception
#justsayin
I enjoyed everyday of my 5 years in college…And you better believe I got high, drunk and I
The fukk this school is on….
I thought we send our children to college for EDUCATION! To be prepare them to be self supporting responsible adults! I feel sorry for your children
Yeah, that’s what I read. Who would tell on themselves? Dude is the star player. They lost by 20 some pts.
delete the “be” before prepare…I got a little carried away
I never thought of that…
That’s why they be getting married as soon as a a girl starts to have her period…
you aint been around long enough to ignore nobody
——————–
I got chu.
they probably was using the ‘pull-out’ method…and it didnt work so well..
He should just transfer to another school…so he can
w/o all the pressure and chit…
They are Mormons! The article does say that it will be reviewed to possibly play next year. He has not been expelled.
I heard the chick is pregant
That is what I am thinking..someone droped a dime on him and when asked he was honest
i don’t think its so much as he told on himself but rather confirmed what they had already known maybe?
i don’t see him comin out the blue sayin oh yeah i banged my girl, had to be a reason for this ‘revelation’
Ladder Day Saints only have 1 wife… you are watching too much HBO
See #29
That’s crazy!
Hi *batslashes
Y’all are killing me!
The rules are put in place for a reason and if you allow people to break them without consequence then you might as well not have them to begin with.
I don’t have a problem with their policy. At least they have one and stick to it.
I thought college was meant for you to get and education, prepare for the realworld, etc. Not get drunk high and smash everyone you see…
No shade, but I thought Mormons believed non-whites were abominations
Controversial yet interesting – and I really don’t have an opinion about it – except it’s interesting in the light of groupies and jump-offs
HELLO FLASHY WELCOME AND PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF SO WE CAN GET TO KNOW YOU A LIL BETTER THANKS IN ADVANCE
What I really wanna know is…was she a sorry lay? Did she blow his mind as well as his peen? How many times did he climax? Did she get hers? How many positions did you put the chick in? If I’m gonna get expelled from the team and go against the vows I took, she better be the baddest chick on the campus and well worth it. I’m just sayin’…..

_________________________________________________
You thought wrong…
Its a place to party, get high, experiment with sex, and class is the last obligation on the list….unless you actually care about GPA and being on the Dean’s list, and Phi Beta Kappa all that other lame chit..
At least this is what happens when you go to an HBCU….
Chibytex says:
I bet its a bunch of gays and lesbians at that school…
______________________
and I bet the school is ok with THAT!
My son attends a HBCU he does “party” but yes, he cares about his GPA, etc as much as I do since I pay for it!
The children that attend BYU have already been groomed for this so it is nothing new!

Well we already know she was a yt girl….. so that means he at least got some good head outta of it….
They don’t put your GPA on your degree….at least on none of the ones i’ve seen on the wall…
I definitely agree with the decision. If he knew he was gonna go up there and be trying to get it in, then he shoulda told them people “Nah, bruh…I think I’ma gone ova to Utah”…
That is true..once upon a time that was the consensus. Now all can be. (my father and his wife became Momons back in 1976) They are black
He cares enough to satisfy you and not to get put out…but not enough not drink alcohol, coffee, and not have sex…
I bet if the school changed its policy, you son would leave so fast your head would spin…trust me in college, most of the learning you do is NOT in the classroom…
You ain’t lying…!!

You’d be surprised how much your GPA can come into play. ANYHOW, we are talking about MORMONS and BYU! I am NOT a Mormon, but my father, step mother, and 8 brothers and sisters are. I respect (may not agree) but respect what they try to teach
he shoulda went to everest
well that explains it, lol i was wondering how they found out
Anna says:
He would not have got caught if he
<—– Facial 
didn’t knock his gf uphad given that chick aMy son didn’t sign up for a school that had these guidelines set before the first dollar was paid to the school or before he accepted a scholarship! There is a big difference….rules are rules and he broke them. Whoever let the cat out of the bag….well he was responsible enough to be honest. He may not be a virgin but he does have character
@ Kendra Knowles

Sit your ass down…right now…
True that.
Aww dont leave…
Which is why i question alot of these doctors/drug dealers……..
well i figured she used the full name like she wanted us to know she was they cousin or something
Well he knew the rules! I don’t feel sorry for him at all. If he felt he couldn’t keep the commitment to not have premarital sex he should not have attended BYU.

Where does a GPA matter? What do they call a person who passes “The Bar”/A Lawyer.
Dont you all know curiousity killed the cat! I use that whole name because IT IS MY NAME!
Now that I think about it… Personally I don’t know one black morman

offtopic: this dude retired from our office at the end of January…why is he back today and these fools acting like they aint seent him in years…why is he back at all?
When applying for grad school or at a company that hires the brightest recent college grads
Exactly.
@ Candi
Yes 
You got to pay to play.
@ Dymond we have a dude that retired last year and he is here every WEEK! He wont stay home then they are making him a new position
Done and done.
what kinda position? is he going to be a ‘consultant’?
They are making him like a GS12 13 to do
“Mission essential Items” <—-Nothing
dude is #bi-winning
gettin paid and not doin anything
At my job your GPA determined your pay. The higher the GPA the greater the pay. One division will only hire people with 3.5 and above. They start off at 6 figures. Depending on what you do it does make a difference.
No baby! I was bored is all….
@ Yvonne
let me know when you come to Little Rock…I got u
(dont come here unless you really have to tho)
We have an employee like that. Makes appearances at the team and department outings as if she is still an employee. Damn! Do you have some family to visit? A cruise to take? Why are you hear visiting folks? Matter of fact who the hell invited you?
@Dymond: Noted…
Thank you Mamacita to advising these people GPA means a great deal in the business world!
New post soooo damn tired and sleep
Lil Tune-chi and lil tuna fish..
Yeah! 
There are alot of Latter Day Saints in Jamaica….I know alot of them. I know a few people that went to BYU…I don’t think you would go to BYU if you weren’t a Mormon. I don’t really feel bad for the kid cause he knew what he was signing up for #kanyeshrug

The homepage says there are 129 comments in this post… In the past, I would just scroll down to wherever I left off and pickup the convo where everyone is…. BUT NOW, it says there are 129 comments, I come into the post scrolling ot he bottom means only lists 66 comments.. that means there are 63 comments up in this piece that I have to go “look for”.. me no likey..
@ PSP I aint wit it either

You tried, but you can’t please everybody.
@Sandra
You should know.
Thank God for Jesus! get a transfer and keep it moving
can’t say i feel sorry for him…i’m sure he knew what he was signing when he signed his intent to play contract. on top of that regardless of what the mormon church puts out to the public, behind the seens they are still racist. i know a number of elderly white mormons who left the church for that reason.
my question is his girlfriend appears to be a volleyball player so was she dismissed as well?
Well, he signed up for this didn’t he? That was part of the agreement he signed his john hancock on.
I liked that reply button
My question is did the girl get kicked out of school as well? Seems strange everybody is focusing on him but nothing at all is mentioned about her punishment.
