BYU's "honor code" for recruits
- Thread starter UK_fan_41102
- Start date
This was actually the very thing that changed my mind on Pope.
How do you win a basketball game with that humungous anchor weighing your recruiting down? He'll get way better players here. He'll win more games here.
UK has an honor code too.
Win the SEC regular season and/or tourney, preferably both.
Advance at least a couple of games into the big dance.
I'm not sure why this is such news to people. A religious school has an honor code. They all do.
The Military Academies have codes.
The smart and/or rich private schools have codes essentially via their academic criteria and price tag.
-Don't be poor
-Don't be stupid
-Most definitely don't be both

I appreciate the curiosity. I'll be honest having Mark Pope hired as the coach has me nervous for all sorts of non-basketball reasons. I think the questions are nice, it is interesting to see some people's thoughts on the honor code. I am worried about the backlash if things don't work out. With that said there are 2 things I'm not going to do on here. First, I am not going to try and convince anybody of anything. Second, I am not going to spend time defending my beliefs. There are already people who generally do not like religion, or specifically do not like Mormons. I am not going to respond to any of those posts. This is a basketball board.
With that said, I'm not sure what the answer is. It's just sort of odd that one form is prohibited. There probably is a technical answer. But for me it doesn't matter. I have never had coffee so I don't feel like I am missing anything. The other parts of the honor code are all just pretty standard lifestyle choices for LDS folks. So it doesn't really feel restrictive.
Ok…. I’m just saying I think the vast majority of D1 prospects are turned away by that alone. The player who is coming to UK is you guessed it, Mormon! Most of them want to play at a big school and have fun on college. It’s just the way it is.
I googled and found this …

Beards: What the Church has actually said
Beard season is officially in full swing with “No Shave November” and winter quickly approaching. For Latter-day Saints, the beard debate has continued for decades, but aside from missionary standards and the BYU beard policy, little has been officially said about the topic.

I am not concerned with Mormon lifestyle and other restrictions, but must say I am very glad CMP has no religious restrictions regarding the use of NIL$$$ and the transfer portal. He seems very committed to using both fully … and knows he must to be successful at UK.
GO CATS !!!
GO CATS !!!
Thank you for the response. Even though I'm not Mormon (born and raised Catholic), I too, was worried about the attack on Pope's beliefs. But people will attack the most prevalent thing when/if they're upset. I'm happy to have someone leading the program who is just as passionate as all of us crazies.
The New York Yankees had that rule since the 70’s. Not sure if they still do but, if not, it changed at least semi-recently.
The students have invented hilarious ways around the code through some kind of shared delusion. Most are familiar with the term soaking and what that entails. They have a new term, which I forget, where the soaking is occurring and then someone else moves the bed to create motion. Whatever it takes to justify it I guess, but hilarious that they’ve basically added some element of voyeurism to the act now and you’re still actually having sex no matter what you want to call it. Freakier than anything I ever did in college 😂😂😂
