You're asking why BYU can't land another all-America that sets 70+ NCAA records?
Um pretty sure those guys are hard to find for any team.

How would you do it without compromising your principles, or is that what you

Did Lavell "compromise his principals?

Absolutely...

Ridiculous. Just cause you don't stop someone from doing something doesn't mean

Actually per the honor code, it is your job

All hail the honor code. I hate narcs.
kingpin2k
10/2/14 8:32am
point is, you said it wasn't his job. then stoils points out that it IS.

False. His job is to coach the team, that's his title, not babysitter.

He adopted a "Just don't get caught" strategy with McMahon that didn't work then

It doesn't compromise your principles when other people do things...

His holier than thow judgmental attitude. That's why.

despite popular belief by you, BYU fans can be logical as well
kingpin2k
10/2/14 12:54pm
It is actually not logic when you argue against facts
stoils

Fact, LE was not their babysitter. Fact, he had better things to do.

I hope you aren't related to any police officers or teachers or parents

Because now there are a bunch of seminary council kids with 25 ACT scores

Totally outdated logic in this age of social media. BYU would have to dump the

Times have changed but I think BYU hides behind the HC.

Mostly it seems like today it is a crutch, but wasn't back in the day.
Cougar TD

You keep using these buzz phrases but I'm still not sure I know what it means
darkcoug

probably better stated is it is a crutch in remaining relevant
kingpin2k
10/1/14 8:59pm
pretty sure that is what I said

I was agreeing with you...

how is it a crutch?
Fightgar

Why can't the Jazz just get another Stockton and Malone?
cougarnerd
10/1/14 5:57pm
not my point. BYU seems to be in a completely different HC world nowadays.

I don't want players who "didn't always follow" the honor code.
Fightgar
10/1/14 6:01pm
but those "normal students" aren't under the same kind of scrutiny as athletes
Cougar TD
10/1/14 6:10pm
what does that mean? living how you say you'll live is just that.
Fightgar
10/1/14 6:14pm
completely twisting words and missing the point.

how in the heck did i twist words?

The university makes example of high profile students, it's a double standard.

What an absolutely ridiculous statement. Lay off the Gordon Monson articles.

I don't even know who that is. How many honor code violations do you know

No, I am saying that it isn't fair that one person doesn't become an example if

There's only one Jim McMahon.

Chicago Bears need one of those too.

Seriously, the Bears haven't had a good QB since Jimmy Mac. Cutler is just ok.
