That urban legend has been around since LONG before the internet.

I was in the ward that did that.

I can confirm the rumor has been around forever.

that sounds believable to you huh?

The rumor dates from at least 1992-3 (when I first heard it in seminary)

You've got to figure that with the hundreds of thousands who have attended BYU

KingDave

That was my thought. I truly hope I'm wrong. It is possible that it was an idea

The only thing I question is that, to be honest, it was/is common for BYU

jkccoug

Very true

Of course it's possible that it's true... even probable imo. When you have kids

i never had a spring or fall break when I went to byu..... Not when I was there.

relic

8/23/14 10:25am

But the rumor was anullment, not divorce . . .

jkccoug

8/23/14 9:53am

It goes back much further than that.

kccougar

8/23/14 11:04am

Yeah I was divorced 9 times in college. We made the Vegas trip quite a few times

Ceremony was at 31 Flavors?

cougfanblue

8/23/14 10:10am

they still have a fall break

Mr Bassman

8/23/14 9:47am

Really? They didn't when I was there.

eddog

8/23/14 9:50am

Thanksgiving Week was no break?

byujacob

8/23/14 9:52am

Most schools have a fall break in October as well.

eddog

8/23/14 10:02am

I don't think BYU has ever done that.

byujacob

8/23/14 10:15am

I was referring to the break between summer term and fall semester.

Mr Bassman

8/23/14 9:57am

I'm sure those two weeks are plenty enough to be a break.

Mr Bassman

8/23/14 9:58am

Most of the students are homeless during this period anyway.

8/23/14 1:27pm

No they don't. Thanksgiving break isn't the same as Fall break.

We always just stuck a racquet in our window. Much cheaper.

kccougar

8/23/14 9:51am

This is another great provo urban legend. Is there any truth to it though?

OlanchoCoug

It's false because it happened at Ricks

Do you honestly believe your one sentence in your post.....

No. I wasn't necessarily saying that I believe it.

I have a friend who's sister was disciplined for doing this while at BYU

BrewCoug

And I totally believe your friend's sister.

Before my mission, the stake president asked me if I had ever been married

LonePeakCoug

8/23/14 11:58am

Met an elder on my mission who had done this.

The only part about that urban legend that is remotely believable

I don't recall a Fall or Spring Break at BYU during the years I was there,
