Would it have been too much to ask Brandon Davies to keep it ‘clean’ for just five more weeks?
Although, if reports that the suspended BYU center had impregnated his girlfriend are indeed true, I guess that would had been a pretty tough secret to keep for another month around the 8-0-1.
Actually, maybe BYU isn’t even going far enough banishing Davies from the team. Perhaps the school should vacate all of its basketball wins for the entire season, or from whatever date it could be determined that Davies first broke the Honor Code.
I can’t help but recall what former BYU hoops coach Roger Reid once said to a one-time prep All-American named Chris Burgess, who also happened to be a Mormon, when he had the gall to choose another school that wears blue and white – the one coached by Mike Krzyzewski called the Duke Blue Devils. At the time the coach supposedly told Burgess that he had ‘let down nine million people’ – the global membership of the LDS church.
You can argue that Davies has wound up doing the same, or at least whatever percentage of Mormons actually follow BYU hoops.
