A source with close connections to the program has confirmed that BYU star Brandon Davies was dismissed from the Cougars’ nationally ranked basketball team after he admitted to having sexual relations with his girlfriend, a violation of the school’s honor code.
Davies, a sophomore from Provo High, acknowledged his transgression to BYU officials on Monday.
Tuesday, the school owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced Davies had been dismissed from the team but was being allowed to remain in school while his situation was under review by the Honor Code Office.
BYU spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said Davies’ suspension from the team was for the remainder of the season and that his future at the school has yet to be determined.
A source told The Tribune that Davies is “extremely remorseful, heartbroken” but has accepted the punishment doled out by the school.
Wednesday afternoon, the school confirmed that Davies’ dismissal was not due to something that is criminal in nature, but would not acknowledge the specific portion of the honor code that he violated, per school policy.
Among other things, the honor code forbids students from engaging in premarital sex, and admonishes them to “live a chaste and virtuous life.”
I really just have some questions. How the fuck did the school know there was penetration? Maybe she got pregnant. (see former bears sup. Draft pick Harvey Unga). If she isn't pregnant how do you not deny till you die. "did you have sex" "no" repeat
Also as a dude that has presumably had sex and planned more sex, why BYU? I mean there had to be some other offers. Places black guys(or anyone for that matter) may have an easier time fitting in, and that doesnt have a 'no sex' rule.
Sucks for mr Davies who will have to start over somewhere. On the bright side, he isnt a virgin who thinks that Joseph Smith was given some golden plates with the the religious history of the American people on there.

Update: Color me embarrassed, apparently LL cool D is actually from Provo and a morman himself. So it would seem as my questions got answered. So now he has all the time in the world to tell his friends how "it" was.
