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

BYU has controversial stances on hot button issues, gays and gay marriage being the biggest one. The Big 12 has to ask itself about the media fallout that could come from that if something else becomes a big topic like this rape/HCO thing has become.

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

5/3/16 3:50pm

Yes, as well as Kansas State I believe.

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

Just because sins are included in the HC

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

These are great examples.

Exactly, there is nothing honorable about it.

Nothing honorable?

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

Only partial summary of Dodd

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

El Fuego

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...

5/3/16 3:53pm

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

SoCalCoug

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

5/3/16 3:56pm

So you say.

SoCalCoug

5/3/16 3:58pm

Most rational people without an ax to grind would agree

5/3/16 3:59pm

Cause BYU has a history of win at all costs approach

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...

5/3/16 4:00pm

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

riboflavin

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...

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...

5/3/16 11:08pm

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

Bobmarleyjr

If it wasn't that, it would be something else

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

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

Bostonblue

5/3/16 4:38pm

Yet he said its the "biggest obstacle"? Dumb

5/3/16 4:11pm

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

5/3/16 4:00pm

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

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

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

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

CaliWG

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

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.

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

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