    Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see one mention in the article or in the comments under it about him having sex. Am I missing something? Can you find the place in the article where it says that?

      He knew the rules and he broke the rules. Davies signed the honor code so he knew what he was getting into. That lifestyle isn't for everyone, but if it's not for you...don't go to BYU.

        ok....Try the giant heading:
        Report: Brandon Davies case about sex
        Or the first couple lines of the article:
        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."
        Not sure how you missed that...

            So how did everyone in the country find out that this kid had sex? How would word like this get out?

            Did he mention that he railed his girlfriend to a buddy, who was appalled and told everyone at school? Someone had to have narced on him.

              I understand there is an honor code and stuff. But seriously?! He had sex with his gf. might as well suspend half of college basketball then. this is what America has fallen too. Religion is too powerful for one religion.

                True, he knew the rules. However, it's also true that those who live under Sharia Law know the rules if they get their hand cut off for stealing, or women who expose too much skin know the rules prior to having stones thrown at them.

                BYU has every right to impose rules like this. I also have every right to call them out for being idiotic.

                  I'm sorry, but you can't tell me that Davies and his girlfriend are the only undergraduates on that campus who have engaged in pre-marital sex. If they have "honor" all students who have done so should come forward immediately and face their punishment.

                          More like 99.9% of college basketball, also you can't tell me Jimmer isn't getting any girl on campus that he wants.

                            That's an awfully broad brush you're painting with.

                              I absolutely would tell you that. Disagree with the religion all you want, but I think its pretty obvious that a fair amount of people at BYU take the Honor Code very seriously.

                              I would bet my house that there are PLENTY of girls on that campus that would be unwilling to sleep with Jimmer, assuming that this is something he would pursue, which is quite the presumption itself.

                              Thank you. His comment is the same sort of statement he is allegedly outraged by.
