Enlighten us :ehh:

It's a very long read.. from 2011.
https://deadspin.com/5791461/the-truth-about-race-religion-and-the-honor-code-at-byu
Here are a few quotes from it

Meanwhile, some honor code investigations border on the ludicrous. In 2007, a snitch spotted freshman Ryan Kessman, a Jewish wide receiver from California, drinking a vanilla cappuccino at Starbucks and reported him to the honor code office, according to Kessman's father. (The honor code forbids drinking coffee.)
"During my recruiting visit and right up till the point when I signed with BYU, the honor code was lightly discussed by coaching staff and BYU officials." says Marcus Whalen, a star running back from Maryland who left the school in 2004 after pleading guilty to misdemeanor assault stemming from a fight with another student. "I wasn't told that if I violated the honor code I would get kicked out of school and lose my scholarship and eligibility to attend another institution."

The reality isn't so appealing. While it's impossible to know how many students disobey BYU's honor code, which prohibits fornication and alcohol use, among other things, the honor code violations that come to light almost always involve student-athletes. And they almost always involve athletes of color. Since 1993, according to our research, at least 70 athletes have been suspended, dismissed, put on probation, or forced to withdraw from their teams or the school after running afoul of the honor code. Fifty-four of them, or nearly 80 percent, are minorities. Forty-one, or almost 60 percent, are black men. These are conservative numbers, compiled from media reports and interviews. In several cases, we could not confirm an honor code violation. In other cases, we could not establish the race or ethnicity of the athlete involved. We excluded those cases from our tally.

"I was trying to transfer to an all-black D-II school, but they wouldn't let me," Allen says. "I couldn't transfer and play because you have to be on good terms when you leave the school. They wouldn't release my transcripts under good terms. I owed them $500. I paid it off. It didn't matter. Right after BYU, I signed a contract with the Bengals. I signed with Cincinnati two days before training camp started so I was the last rookie in fighting for a job. That messed up my credibility. It messed up a lot of stuff. Then I was playing arena football and in different leagues."

I'm sure they let the impact players on the football team fukk bytches on the low :mjlol:


It always amazed me that they were able to get brothas on that campus, or any minority, really, since I've noticed they have a lot of Pacific Island niiggas on their teams. What part of their recruiting pitch includes "oh yeah, by the way, you can't smash while you're here" :damn:

I've told this story on here before, but I used to have this BYU Starter cap, because I liked the logo, the one with the cougar crawling across the BYU... So one day I'm standing on the corner by my projects, waiting for my mans to pick me up to go play basketball, and these two Mormon dudes are walking up the street towards me. As they get closer, their eyes lit up because they peeped the logo. I felt like they get extra credit for converting a black dude, cause they was tryna sell me the faith hard. I hit then with "don't y'all think that black people are cursed?" :sas2: They stuttered some weak reply about a change in their thinking. By that time my mans had come and I dipped.
