P Norton laying the smack-down. Every Cougar fan should know this.

No it's not - there are all kinds of HC breaches that I know about that have never hit CB or Twitter.

IF that's the case--and it might be--then there's not a problem to address.

they're trying to limit the leaks to 100%. It won't happen (obviously) but it's reasonable to push to get as close

The honor code was set up by a student council in the 40's. It is outdated.

Agreed. I think you are right. Nobody eats their own better than BYU fans

Iman23

So let the Ute fans break all the stories. BYU fans keep their traps shut.

Yeah, letting your rival set the narrative is a great idea.

Why is it necessary to be "forced" to hand out stiffer penalties...

Because the LDS church is sensitive to any bad PR from local or national media

It's about trying to establish a culture of keeping HC issues private. No sense giving up due to some folks that seem

CalGTR

The only way this is honestly going to happen is by changing the Honor code...

Smoke Monster

There is much improvement to be made among our fanbase on this issue even without changes to how the HC is administered.
