can't abide by the honor code" you are talking out of both sides of your mouths.
Good grief, give the kid credit for being honest and up front in saying he's not willing to sign the honor code.
I'd rather have him too, but he's just being straight about his intentions.
Either way, it's just like everything else. Winning cures all. I'm sure if we were ranked #5 and in position to win a P5 conference title more kids would find a way to commit to the honor code.
