exactly. dude had offers from gonzaga, cal, zona...so he wasn't forced into this from a "this is my only chance at a scholarship" standpoint. he knew damn well what he was signing up for. i'm sure he's a good kid, but that school is strict as hell, we all know that.

i'm sure premarital sex occurs at BYU, especially with the athletes...but i would think he had to have gotten the girl pregnant to be kicked off. you can't cover that up. you can't hide that. 

Nobody has once factored in his (foster) parent's influence on choosing BYU. He might have just went to BYU because his mormon parents told him too. Being raised in that faith, its understandable that he signed up for the school just to make his parents happy.

You have a good point. But personally given the choice of something like BYU and scholarships to play for other schools with a more secular outlook, I'd look for another way to make them happy. I doubt getting kicked off and being made a national news story for this is making them real happy anyways. It all depends on the kid's character and how he deals with this I guess.

a scholarship at BYU is a joke. Tuition is cheap as dirt for LDS students there

As it should be, since the school is run by LDS.  There's almost no Non-athletic, Non-LDS kids that go there, right?

This thread brings the lulz. Not going to comment on the matter since I will most definitely end up bashing BYU and the LDS beliefs but lets just say I think their honor code is a pile of horse dung.

I don't agree with much of what LDS has to offer either but they put that honor code in the forefront when recruiting.  If you're someone who cant handle abiding by that code then BYU probably doesn't want you to attend in the first place, regardless of what you may or may not be able to do for their athletic programs.

Which is why its so impressive that BYU is competitive in Football and Basketball.

It's as simple as not applying to the school if there is a problem w. the honor code or their ethics.  I don't see how anyone can have issue w. this.  It's like having an issue w. St. John's because they have priests/nuns walking around....
