Brandon Davies

As a former student of a conservative school with a strict behavioral code, I know what it's like to have to live by super strict rules. The reason I am going to have to side with the school's decision to kick him off the team is this: he KNEW the rules when he enrolled in the school. If you can't play by the rules, you probably should choose another school. I have to give a major Bravo to BYU for kicking off an important player in their run for a Final Four appearance. That couldn't have been easy to do, but they did it, and sticking by the decision. With the amount of money that's potentially at stake with a deep tournament run, they are sticking to their guns. Can't fault them for that, and I have to say, the people attacking BYU are morons. Say what you want, the rules were CLEARLY stated when Davies enrolled. Blame the kid who made a mistake, blame the kid who broke the rules. He knew the potential consequences of his actions, and he did it anyways. He is the only one at fault, and any backlash anywhere else is midguided and wrong.

On a side note: whoever found out about this and told authorities, they are probably trying to keep their identity secret, because they are probably going to get beat up big time. Seriously, your team is #3 in the nation, and an important player just got kicked off the team cuz you tattled on him. I wouldn't want to be that person...just sayin...
