Brigham Young and the cost of winning
I saw a story today about a basketball hotshot playing for Brigham Young who is going to be suspended for violating the university's moral code. People are now all in a tizzy because they think the moral code is too strict and that BYU shouldve waited until after the championship. Well BOOHOO America! The student in question, as well as every other student at Brigham Young, SIGNED that moral code. It's a contract. He violated it. Nuff said. If he thought he couldn't follow the code, I'm sure there are many other fine schools he could have gone to. Also, if he's aiming to play in the NBA, he better learn REAL fast about what happens when you don't read fine print. Breach of contract will cost you more than getting kicked off the team in the real world kiddies. As to whether or not BYU has too strict a moral code...Are you serious? If there's anything America could use more of, it's morals. Now BYU is on the stricter side, but if you want to whoop it up like Paris Hilton or Charlie Sheen, WHY THE HELL would you choose to go to a religious school? Personally, I applaud BYU for encouraging its students to behave themselves, and reminding us all that there is more to college than frat parties and fornication. That's my personal choice. That troubled b-baller had a choice too, and he made the wrong one, so give BYU a break. Just a though...
