Brandon Davies, Girlfriend Have Sex: BYU Honor Code Violation
The sports world is collectively scratching its head today, as reports that premarital sex and Brandon Davies' girlfriend led to his BYU honor code violation and suspension. A college basketball player suspended for having sex with his girlfriend? At the Mormon school, it is a BYU, honor code violation and grounds for dismissal from the university.
If Brandon Davies played for most any other college basketball team in the country, this would likely never even be reported. But the Salt Lake Tribune reports that is why the star forward, on the No. 3 Cougars team, was suspended mere weeks before the NCAA Tournament.
The suspension could costing the team its hopes for a deep run in the tournament and millions in revenue, but BYU is standing behind its honor code.
Despite BYU's chance at a No. 1 seed in the Big Dance, BYU suspended Brandon Davies for the remainder of the season.
BYU, affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, has an honor code which forbids students from engaging in premarital sex, and admonishes them to "live a chaste and virtuous life." Not only religious schools have strict rules for students. At West Point, for instance, some Friday nights have mandatory study hours, and students reportedly aren't allowed to sit on the same piece of furniture as someone of the opposite sex. Students must be in good Honor Code standing to be admitted to, continue enrollment at, and graduate from BYU.
Publicly, BYU officials have said only that Davies violated the school's honor code and his actions were not criminal in nature, according to USA Today. Davies is reported to have admitted his transgression to BYU officials on Monday, according to multiple sources. One has to wonder if he had an attorney present.
The BYU honor code violation could lead to Davies dismissal from college entirely. Think of it as a contract, of sorts, between students and the school. Expect to hear about Brandon Davies' girlfriend every time BYU plays a game during March Madness.

Brandon Davies’ Girlfriend Rumored Pregnant
Until this year, that is. Thanks to another undersized guard, Jimmer Fredette. The kid’s jumper is so deadly that he’s officially in range the moment he steps inside the gym. His 28 points per game are a big reason why the BYU Cougars have climbed as high as number 3 in the polls.
But suddenly, it’s neither Ainge nor Fredette who is most closely associated with BYU basketball. It’s Brandon Davies, the 6’9? sophomore who leads BYU in rebounding this season. He was suspended from the BYU basketball team on Tuesday for violating the school’s honor code and is ineligible to play for the rest of the season. His absence will severely compromise the Cougar’s best season in 30 years and has many people asking the same question: did the punishment fit the crime?
