Not something that would happen in Columbus

From ESPN:
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."
Ever wonder why large numbers of BYU students get married after their freshman year?  This might be one.  I think the OSU might have some issues fielding a winning team if similar rules applied in Columbus.

  1. Did you see the SI report on crime in NCAA football? Every top 25 team (except TCU)had players charged; Ohio State was in the middle of the pack. Although the crime rate for athletes is similar to the crime rate for other students, the athletes receive free passes for the ability to bring in money. Not a great representation of the US university system.

  2. Well, money talks, _______ walks. BYU's no premarital sex rule is pretty tough though. Here's a take on it. http://www.dooce.com/2011/03/03/wherein-i-actually-approach-subject-sports
