On Monday, BYU forward Brandon Davies was dismissed from the team for the rest of the season and possibly the School itself. This happened Monday due to an honor code violation. This comes in wake of a dream season at 27-2 including two huge wins over San Diego State. The actual violation is unknown although it will be addressed following tonights game against New Mexico.
If BYU does suspend him for the remainder of the season it will be a huge blow for the #3 ranked and possible #1 seed Cougars. Some of the rules listed in the honor code are: Use Clean Language; Abstain from all Alcohol Beverages, Substance Abuse, Tobacco, Tea & Coffee also Live a Chaste & Virtuous Life. I'm curious as to which rule was violated and wonder if BYU will hold to it's honor code in wake of what is at stake for their basketball team. Will they give in to possibly giving up a final four appearance and give a slap on the wrist or hold true to their honor code and actually suspend Davies leaving Jimmer Fredette to save the season?
It would be refreshing to see a team actually hold true to it's policies instead of sidestepping them and saving the season and tournament while giving a meaningless suspension next year (ala Ohio State).
