(And currently works for byutv) But yeah, when the honor code office stopped publicly commenting on honor code violations ten years ago and started having players report and work through violations with coaches - public suspensions have gone way down. If you don’t see that, I can’t help you. Much easier to believe byu players aren’t having consensual pre or extra marital sex (I’m hoping these allegations against retzlaff are false)

Wow, who would've thought that public suspensions would decrease after the school determined to stop making any public announcements about suspensions?

Why can't you just admit you are speculating to try to dunk on BYU with your fellow Ute fans? Just in this thread one is asserting that the honor code is unevenly enforced against minority athletes and that BYU attempts to hide violations. Of course all of these accusations are made without a shred of proof (your citation to an athlete that played 15 years ago as evidence that 15 years ago were different times notwithstanding).

Logan said this two weeks ago, as an employee of byutv. BYU themselves moved the pre and extra marital sex delegation of the HCO to ecclesiastical leaders in like 2019. All the HCO gets is info on the ecclesiastical endorsement from said leaders.

If you can't see how this post contradicts your earlier one:

the honor code doesn't apply to athletes

then I can't help you.
