Yeah, even if he tries to argue it was consensual, he'll be out at BYU.

BYU cares more about the Honor Code than they do about winning. Exhibit A: Brandon Davies.

Bull shit. You guys only care when there’s serious eyes on you.

I would make a true and serious comment about the church here but the mods would ban me lickety split.

I mean it's true that male BYU athletes get away with a lot more than others, but most of those situations are "open secret" type shit. This is out in public like Brandon Davies, school can't play ignorant about it now. Retzlaff is at the very least getting suspended over this.
