Brandon Davies Girlfriend and BYU Honor Code

Brandon Davies, 19, all-star basketball player from Brigham Young University, was suspended from the team earlier this week for violating the BYU honor code. The students from the university wondered what Davies did to violate the code. The mystery is now revealed; Davies is accused of having sex with his girlfriend, according to the Chicago Sun Times.

"Brandon Davies girlfriend" has been the most-searched item on Google all morning. That tells you how much head-scratching is going on nationally over the BYU basketball star's suspension because he had premarital sex, which broke the school's honor code about remaining chaste.

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Davies apologized to his teammates for his actions. Two of Davies’ teammates, Jimmer Fredette and Charles Abouo, said they have no resentment toward him and they consider him a brother. “Everyone makes mistakes in their life,” Abouo said. “We are reaching out and trying to help him get through this.”


Cougars coach Dave Rose was asked if he believed Davies will play basketball again for BYU in the future and his response was “yeah, I do.”

The Cougars are already starting to feel the loss of their star player. Last night, they lost their first Davies-less game, falling 82-64 to the New Mexico Lobos, reported AOL News. Davies sure will be sorely missed as the Cougars wrap up their season and head into postseason play.
