This article further demonstrates the bias against LDS. Is the author from Colorado?

i have a cousin who played baseball at Oral Roberts when they were an NCAA team. kind of the same thing, a lot of codes and behavior rules. he said it wasn't too bad....would seem awful to me. still lives in Tulsa.
My gut feeling is BYU is a dead program walking under the current direction they are going. I can honestly see them being like Army/Navy in the coming 10-15 years.
hmm. nah. they got enough money coming their way to keep them afloat. But they won't stay independent forever.
Because it's worth the $$$ they pay you. The honor code is a cover up.
Which is why I said "under the current direction they are going."
Just read something about how BYU thinks they are going for the Nat Champ this year. After I got done laughing I began to wonder. They were previously in the MWC which is not a BCS conference right? Now that they are independent can they get into a BCS game? Notre Dame can I suppose. How does the BCS deal with indie teams.
As for the article, I am sure that the non mormon (black) students are more likely to run afoul of the honor code since normal humans like coffee and beer and sex. So no surprise there. It was hard to tell what was sour grapes from some of the ex students concerning "they never told me about the honor code" stuff. The other allegations about white/mormon students/athletes getting lighter or no sentencing was only given one example to support it. However, I would not be surprised to hear that it is true but it would be hard to prove. The revelations about the kids partying and drinking is no surprise. I grew up in a small mormon town and when I came back to visit all of my friends were smoking and drinking like standard teenagers.
The article just reinforced what I had always wondered. Why in gods name would you go to BYU if you were not mormon? Seems like more and more people are figuring this out. I agree that if they stay independent and cannot recruit outside of their religion the program is slowly driving off of a cliff.

you might as well throw A&M in there as well to make an even number.
Then you'd have to include Citadel and VMI so all the toy soldier institutions are represented.
add the Citadel to get an even 10
Oral :nod:
Ah... I'm so glad they confirmed with anectdotal evidence and removed data points that didn't fit their agenda. Well done, Deadspin!
Seriously, i don't give two ****s about BYU and their honor code, but that was a poorly written peice of trash. I want 10 minutes of my life back.

It appears he's probably got a knack for it.
Texas thinks they are god. That count? Go with University of San Diego (Roman Catholic affiliation)
Done! What do you call the conference championship?

Will we (being USD) be allowed to shave points in this conference? uggggghhhhh.
