As you may or may not know, BYU recently dismissed one of their key players for violating BYU's honor code. I'll spare you the details, but I did think it was worth mentioning before selections are due. And, for your Friday afternoon entertainment, an article I stumbled across:
The University Honor Code
Brandon Davies' dismissal from the BYU basketball team for honor code violations has drawn attention to the very idea of honor codes. We've outlined some of the more prominent examples for you:
- Butler: Pretend to go to classes every day even though the only part of the university that actually exists is the gym
- Citadel: No Second Amendment on the court
- Indiana University: What's left of school's honor code is mostly illegible considering Bob Knight chewed it up and pissed on it in 1998
- Miami: Strict penalties are handed down to any athlete who shorts a teammate on an eighth
- Notre Dame: You can lie all you want, but Jesus saw what you did
- Pacific: Code of conduct is unspecific but says players should never act in a manner that's not befitting the Pacific Ocean
- Purdue: Students must pledge never to build, or contemplate the building of, a drum larger than the university's famous World's Largest Drum
- University of Texas: Athletes are not allowed to take money, but any piles of money they find just lying around the place are fair game
- UC Berkeley: Athletes are strictly forbidden from either killing the buzz or quelling the vibe
- USC: None
