I know, I know, two BYU basketball posts one right after another. This is just me shedding a little bit of light on how I use the media. This is a Facebook conversation I had last week with people I don't know! It all started when someone posted something (negative and uninformed) about BYU basketball and the hot topic Honor Code on a mutual friend's page.. and this isn't even half of it. And yes, you're right, I had to join in. I am amazed, daily, about what people say online. I wonder if people talk the same way when they are face to face as they do online, or if the media has created a wall for people to hide behind. What do you think?

I agree that there is CONSEQUENCE'S in life, but not getting kicked off a team. There has been several other ATHLETE's that broke the code and it was covered UP.. HINT stunt for BYU.. And if this athlete was all they had and with out this young man they are going to be out of the championship thats crazy.

Plus, if you really read the Honor Code half the campus should be expelled.

I understand the Honor Code trust me, I have myself raised my right hand to a few Codes. I live by them! And one is to PROTECT the right of the American citizens, so that we can have these talks. FREEDOM of......... I think we can take the ...church talk off line some day, because the press understands the Church more than the Church wants them too I think.

He made a mistake not like he killed someone. The kid was honest and got kicked off the team. What they did isn't going to help the kid in any way with his problems. I don't think it hurt the chances of a championship in any way cuz they had no shot anyway.

This has all been very hilarious. Just curious, do any of these comment-ers even go to BYU? Or do they just like to knock on something they don't understand? You don't have to agree with it but you could at least respect that some are trying to live it and that the school has enough integrity to hold everyone accountable, even if we don't like the outcome of Davies CHOICE. But in life, everything has consequences, some not as open as others, but hey, he knew what he was doing and what was at stake when he did it.See More

Knock something we don't understand....???? I don't agree with it, because like I said they need to treat all their students the same. That's not being done though.

I got kicked out of Byu approved housing for being honest about stuff.... all the closet porn addicts down the hall stayed.... the alcoholics down the hall lied, and stayed. I understand the policies of BYU, and like I said before, I understand that they only apply them to athletes if they get caught publicly. The biggest pervert I've ever met was on their dance team.

Well, as someone who once was living that honor code, and became disillusioned with those around me who lied when confronted, I think that institution of learning (I can't include "higher") needs to crack down on ALL students, not just some.... It's nice to see _some_ athletes are being scrutinized, but there are many more that need to be disciplined, IMO. Being honest is of part of the code, but there are plenty of liars still on the campus! The best thing I ever did was transfer to a real university!!!
Regardless, I think, if this denies BuY a trophy, it was worth it!!! I wish I could have seen the UNM beat BuY the other night!!! It looks like it was a great game for the Lobos (who are now my favorite team...until they play UU)!!!See More

First of all, I guess I don't understand why everyone is all upset about someone getting disciplined for doing something wrong even if they were "honest" about it. That doesn't erase that what he did was wrong.. if that was the case no one would ever lie. Wouldn't that be great, you could steal something but as long as you are HONEST about it, you're free! haha.

I know lots of guys who played for there football team and broke the code every weekend and saw it first hand. I think if they crack down on one they need to crack down on all of them. I don't agree with it. I understand it but I feel bad for the kid he was being honest and trying to do whats right and he got slap in the face while there is SO MANY more kids out there doing the same.

how would you suggest they "crack down on all of them?" it's called the honor code because it's on your honor. Unless they admit or get caught, a lot goes unnoticed. It sucks, but it's not like BYU is turning a blind eye or playing favorites.

Keri hit the nail on the head. Just like a bishop isn't going to grill you in his office. You can either tell the truth or lie. Kudos to the kid for getting his priorities in line and coming clean, and kudos to the Unitversity (kills me to say it) for enforcing rules on a starting player.
