so does this mean he has a semester of straight w's on his transcript?

Honor Code office is messed up.
First they let him finish up, although they ask him to withdraw.
Now they say they are looking forward to him coming again in the fall.
They are sending mixed messages if you ask me.
Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I'm glad he finished before withdrawing, but that's what got him in trouble in the first place.Comment

Can't we just be happy?Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

I know I am. Davies is remorseful and committed to coming back, with considerable enthusiasm. Justice and mercy each got in a few licks, and despite the horrible handling early on of the whole mess, the future looks bright. I'm happily surprised he'll be on the court for the season opener.Originally posted by myboynoah View PostComment

Does anyone not envy the pressure underwhich Davies will now find himself? So many people cite his dismissal and a primary reason for BYU's not advancing further. He will have the spotlight early on so I hope he follows the admonition: What would Jimmer do?Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

Davies has the potential to be my favorite Cougar ever. If I were in his shoes, I would have transferred, I think.Originally posted by myboynoah View PostJesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Me too. This is great news for him and for us. Maybe it was in Dave Rose's contract?Originally posted by PaloAltoCougar View Post
Rose should have negotiated at least 3 get out of the honor code office free cards per season for his players.Comment

The fresh air of Brandon Davies' return
Which brings us to another terrific part of this story.
It sounds almost cheesy to say that what's often forgotten about people who mete out tough love is the "love" part. But look: Davies wasn't run off or ostracized from BYU, as he might've been in more callous or hypocritical places. His teammates and coaches actually pulled him in a little closer, held on to him a little tighter. He sat on BYU's bench in street clothes and rooted for the team the rest of the season. When the Cougars won the Mountain West tournament title, he climbed the ladder and took his turn cutting down part of the net like everyone else because, as guard Jackson Emery said, "He's as big a part of this team as anyone. He screwed up. We've all screwed up in our own individual ways. It's good to have him here."
"He's a brother to us," added Fredette, who lost his last chance to add a national title to the numerous national player of the year awards he captured.
Now Jimmer is gone to the NBA. Davies is back. BYU is expecting big things from its basketball team again.
But no matter how this season goes, this is a lock: It's going to be damn hard to top that offseason the Cougars just had.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

Anybody have a clue what the bolded portion is about? I assume it's just a throw-away artifact of poor journalism, unless Oral Roberts has a football team.It sounds almost cheesy to say that what's often forgotten about people who mete out tough love is the "love" part.
