We're out then, but isn't Baylor going through a whole sexual assault issue

Texas Hammer

Yes, as well as Kansas State I believe.

Triggerhappybunny

Which may be why they don't add another school with the same issues.

And yet, only 1 school was on the cover of CNN.com this past week.

There was also that minor issue of a bball player that murdered another player.

While I don't necessarily agree with the "get rid of it" approach...

Eddie

BYU is not the church

If you don't understand that 90% of the HC is about sin, I'm not sure we...

Eddie

Just because sins are included in the HC

As soon as the AFA, US Government, etc....

What about nephi killing laban, children of israel driving out caananites etc.

This is honestly so not true... Who deals with academic related issues? the HCO

Dissenter

5/3/16 8:15pm

These are great examples.

Eddie

Exactly, there is nothing honorable about it.

k2coug

Nothing honorable?

stoils

They should keep it, but they should just put someone like you in charge of it.

I think Kerbouchard just volunteered to do it pro bono

BYU is its own worst enemy sometimes

There's no way that's true. If anyone is saying that, it's just another excuse.

It's the current manifestation of potential political baggage that BYU brings

Only partial summary of Dodd

NotOfYourFaithBYUFAN

5/3/16 3:52pm

I think it's a left-field, stupid reason to even bring up.

El Fuego

5/3/16 3:53pm

Not to those who view the chilling of rape reports as a big issue,

SoCalCoug

5/3/16 3:57pm

Ugh... there is no way there is any truth to that...

Smoke Monster

5/3/16 3:53pm

Deny it all you want; BYU will still be on the outside looking in after the next

SoCalCoug

5/3/16 3:55pm

It wouldn't have a thing to do with this if so

cougarmanguy

5/3/16 3:56pm

So you say.

SoCalCoug

5/3/16 3:58pm

Most rational people without an ax to grind would agree

cougarmanguy

5/3/16 3:59pm

Cause BYU has a history of win at all costs approach

Smoke Monster

5/3/16 4:07pm

I agree, but it won't be because of something so easily resolved as this

BYUCoug11

5/3/16 4:00pm

But it won't be because of the HC/Rape incident...

Smoke Monster

5/3/16 4:00pm

i agree, but it's not going to be because of the HC thing.

riboflavin

5/3/16 4:04pm

Dodd said it was purely his opinion. Not from any B12 source

NotOfYourFaithBYUFAN

5/3/16 3:56pm

the media is making it out to be something it isn't, the facts are not bad

Bobmarleyjr

5/3/16 10:39pm

Victims shouldn't have any honor code issues...it's pretty bad...

Smoke Monster

5/3/16 10:44pm

I don't care if they give them immunity but I don't blame them for accoutability

Bobmarleyjr

5/3/16 10:49pm

That should be between them and their bishop... BYU needs to keep their nose...

Smoke Monster

5/3/16 11:08pm

If rules are not enforced there are no rules. BYU standards is part of identity

Bobmarleyjr

5/3/16 11:13pm

time and a place... there is a time to enforce and a time when it's none...

Dodd is not a fan of byu. He has been retweeting articles saying that the NCAA

Bostonblue

5/3/16 3:58pm

Are retweets endorsements? Has anyone covered that yet?

riboflavin

5/3/16 3:59pm

Dodd also said that his comments about the BYU HCO were not conveyed

Bostonblue

5/3/16 4:01pm

because i think he thinks its going to be an issue moving forward.

riboflavin

5/3/16 4:02pm

i.e. he desperately wants it to be an issue going forward.

Bostonblue

5/3/16 4:04pm

i think that's a leap. i agree that it will be an issue going forward as schools

riboflavin

5/3/16 4:07pm

he's a huge proponent of pushing social issues and he doesn't agree with byu's

Bostonblue

5/3/16 4:09pm

where's the proof that he's a huge proponent of pushing social issues?

Bostonblue

5/3/16 4:17pm

Are you suggesting that a reporter covered a major news story???

DapperDan

5/3/16 4:26pm

I hate when people butt-in to a conversation who haven't read the whole thread.

Bostonblue

5/3/16 4:38pm

Yet he said its the "biggest obstacle"? Dumb

YIsForBrigham

5/3/16 4:11pm

If you think this isn't an issue, you need a reality

Cougarealist

5/3/16 4:00pm

it could be an issue, but it's certainly not the biggest issue.

riboflavin

5/3/16 4:03pm

It's an issue between BYU and it's students...

You have your head in the sand

5/3/16 7:28pm

Your axe to grind against the honor code

If this was said, this tells me they are looking for ANY excuse to not add BYU.

Superman21

5/3/16 4:09pm

it wasn't said. Dodd admitted as much.

Bostonblue

5/3/16 4:11pm

Dodd is trying to make it an issue

Smoke Monster

5/3/16 4:14pm

Have you seen the news lately? It's already an issue. It is one that can be

DapperDan

5/3/16 4:16pm

It's a local issue that has made 2 minutes of national news...

You're right completely local, if you don't count ABC, CNN, TIME, HuffPo, NYT,

DapperDan

5/3/16 4:38pm

Dodd is a reporter. Did he quote an official in the conference?

Superman21

5/3/16 4:18pm

lol. it was dodd's opinion.

riboflavin

5/3/16 4:19pm

That is my point. I don't think anybody from the BIGXII would say anything.

Superman21

5/3/16 4:20pm

Compare the number of sexual assaults at BYU to any B12 school & get back to me.

CaliWG

5/3/16 4:13pm

Should we compare the # of sexual assaults where the girl gets investigated?

The Dude Abides

5/3/16 4:42pm

Am I in favor of how BYU handles it? No, and I hope the policy changes. But...

CaliWG

You actually are blaming them, whether you realize it or not.

messi

5/3/16 6:57pm

I agree with you. But do have a question.

Eddie

5/4/16 3:12pm

I kind of wish people would stop using traffic accident analogies for rape.

The Dude Abides

5/3/16 6:32pm

Rapes at BYU go unreported because of fear of the HC, so BYU's not that "safe"

Hill4Heisman

5/3/16 6:40pm

it's absurd to say that BYU isn't safe. Of course it is.

HarlemCoug

5/3/16 8:02pm

Rapes go unreported everywhere for other reasons. I highly doubt that the

Harrison0Yfan

If you have been drinking and then are raped and don't report it

Yep. If you break the rules and then don't report because you broke the rules...

pgbyufan

You do realize that police generally don't prosecute those things when a rape

Y2k

5/3/16 10:40pm

they don't prosecute but these are not crimes and no jail, just suspension

5/4/16 12:45am

HarlemCoug

BYU was actually Ranked the #1 safest campus in America

CaliWG

5/3/16 5:59pm

Impressive given the number of students at BYU

pgbyufan

5/3/16 10:33pm

Big difference between reported rapes and actual rapes

Hill4Heisman

5/3/16 6:47pm

You think honor code increases the likelihood of a sexual assault?

jbonita

5/3/16 6:53pm

Not the HC itself, but the HC policy of formally investigating all victims.

Hill4Heisman

5/4/16 12:36pm

I am trying to understand. You the HC plus its investigation policy makes one mo

jbonita

5/4/16 12:41pm

2 main reasons why HC increases risk

Hill4Heisman

Offset by way more reasons why HC enforcement reduces risk

I get your points, but BYU's sexual assault rate is very low. Some of that is

jbonita

5/4/16 2:10pm

I agree that it increases the risk - it takes it from .000037 to about .00005. Still WAY below

anyone that says most girls are having sex or drinks at BYU and being assaulted

Bobmarleyjr

Did you ever notice most of these "students" have issues with the church or BYU?

Don't believe that at all

spugeddy24

5/3/16 6:19pm

Big 12 isnt involved in that. It is a school issue. Has nothing to do with them

Count Cougar

That is a bunch of bull. No way b12 would care about that

chazen

Especially because it doesn't involve athletes and facts are just ideological

Bobmarleyjr
