What a conundrum. We have a Top 5 ranked basketball team with, arguably, the best player in the country. We have a very good chance at winning the National Championship, and from a Mid-Major conference no less! But our biggest achievement? Our boys are all virgins! And then one of them failed us and brought us shame…
What a joke!

I respect BYU for upholding their values, but I hope they realize that they’ll never win a title with a majority non-Mormon roster.
Well, at least he wasn’t drinking tea.
When questioned about his suspension, the player stated, “So worth it. Getting laid really put winning a basketball trophy into perspective.”
I think ESPN should revise their story. It’s borderline pornographic:

BYU says Brandon Davies' honor code dismissal not criminal in nature - ESPN
What a joke!
Call me when they beat anybody.
Somebody beat him, if you catch my drift.
Eh? Ehhhh?
I was working on that one for a while.
Doesn’t the penalty seem a bit stiff?

Great recruiting tool, too.
Well, this issue certainly seems to have affected the team. They’re getting killed by New Mexico, a bad team, and at home! And historically, BYU always wins at home.
He’s on a breakaway! Only one defender stands between him and the basket. He pump fakes, drives it hard down the baseline, and slam dunk! The crowd goes wild!

How the hell did Jim McMahon last 4 years there?
I’m not saying I agree with their moral code, but at least they’re consistent in enforcing it, unlike the vast majority of NCAA teams, who, when a player breaks the rules, just look the other way, that is if they’re not actively trying to sweep the entire mess under the rug.
It’s not his fault; the coach told him he should be scoring more at home.
Anyone who doesn’t know that sex is better than basketball will not benefit from a college education.
This is exactly why Shawn Kemp didn’t play college ball.

Well, here’s one example:
Reginald Alfred Bush Jr. (born March 2, 1985) is an American former football running back who serves as an on-air college football analyst for Fox Sports. He played college football at USC, where he earned consensus All-American honors twice and won the Heisman Trophy as the most outstanding player in the nation. Bush is widely regarded as one of the greatest college football players of all-time. He was drafted by the New Orleans Saints second overall in the 2006 NFL Draft. While with the Sain...
The NCAA found that, given Bush’s high-profile status, USC should have invested more effort in monitoring Bush’s relationships. In announcing the penalties, NCAA infractions committee chairman Paul Dee said, “High-profile players merit high-profile enforcement.”[14]
And another:
Derrick Martell Rose (born October 4, 1988) is an American professional basketball player for the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played one year of college basketball for the Memphis Tigers before being drafted first overall by his hometown Chicago Bulls in the 2008 NBA draft. He was named the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2009 and became the youngest player to win the NBA Most Valuable Player Award in 2011 at age 22.
Rose was born and raised in Chicago, and at...

And of course this:
David Gregory Bliss (born September 20, 1943) is an American basketball coach. He served as the head men's basketball coach at Oklahoma, Southern Methodist, New Mexico, and Baylor of the NCAA Division I, as well as Southwestern Christian of the NAIA.
Bliss resigned from Baylor in 2003 following internal and NCAA investigations into a number of circumstances surrounding the murder of Baylor player Patrick Dennehy by teammate Carlton Dotson. These included the alleged involvement of Bliss in makin...
And now he’ll be forced to go to the NBA, where the players certainly don’t have access to all the groupies they could ever want.
