I'm usually a bit skeptical when an administration comes out quickly with an emphatic statement of no prior knowledge.

BYU has expelled prominent players for having consensual activities, I normally would agree with you, but they do not seem to play around with this stuff.

For better or worse, they have a line in the sand. Gotta give em credit for being principled

You’d think that out of anyone, BYU players would know to keep it in their pants. Takes much much less than this to break their honor code and screw up your career.

I'd like to think everyone, everywhere would know first degree felony rape is wrong.
This has nothing to do with "keeping it in their pants." Nor breaking any BYU honor code.

Or, FFS, "screwing up his career."

It's felony first degree rape.

Sheesh

They have a line in the sand? First degree felony rape?

Sheesh

"Keeping it in your pants" is BYU's line in the sand, regardless of what any of us think.

I think history has shown that no matter what the trappings people are still people… and sometimes those trappings indicate quite the opposite….


I remember during the Baylor abuse scandal that their school “investigators” said they assumed they wouldn’t have much to do “because it’s a religious school”…

Never said it wasn’t, I agree

Just to be clear.....this isn't an honor code issue, it is a criminal one. Very different then the Ratzlaff situation.

BYU says star wide receiver charged with felony rape is no longer a student there

Brigham Young University says standout wide receiver Parker Kingston is no longer a student there after he was arrested this week on a first-degree felony rape charge.

How about waiting until they know the truth or not before punishing him?

That's not what he was referring to. He was referring to consistently holding their players to a standard. The post @mngg11 was referring to even had "consensual activities" in it.

Do you always try and misinterpret posts so you can bitch and complain? Cuz you're very good at it.

I'd like to think this has nothing to do with consensual activities or lines in the proverbial sand. Why did Loblaw even bring it up?

Once again, just to be clear, the accusation is rape. Felony, first degree rape.

Makes me wonder how Jim McMahon survived that place

BYU's isn't Bob Jones University, but they are strict on this stuff and we've seen colleges that would side with the athlete (cough, cough, Baylor) in instances like this one. Yes, this goes beyond BYU's code of conduct because of its in the criminal justice system.

I think what Bob was hitting at is BYU is probably the only university in the country with a code of conduct that is beyond innocence and guilt and they do not mess around and look for the middle ground or go with the "we'll let this work its way through the courts." Cross the line and you're gone.
