The 27-2, third-ranked BYU Cougars were dealt a major blow late Tuesday when it was announced that center Brandon Davies would be suspended for the rest of the season. The school said the dismissal was due to a violation of the school’s honor code, though they did not specify which aspect of the code was violated. We do know that Davies is still a BYU student and that the school learned about the issue on Monday. The only details that were revealed came from The Salt Lake Tribune.
School spokeswoman Carri Jenkins told the paper “that to her knowledge, no other BYU student-athletes were involved in the violation. Asked if the dismissal had anything to do with Davies’ academic standing, she said, “No. This is a violation of the honor code.”
Jenkins’ comment that no other student-athlete was involved and Davies’ standing as a current student makes me believe it was not a sex issue. When BYU running back Harvey Unga was busted for the same violation, he ended up leaving school along with his girlfriend, pretty much solidifying suspicion that it was sex-related. It could have been something serious like pre-marital sex, but then I don’t think he’d still be a student if that were the case.
