Is this an appropriate core value list for a college football team, or should these players be held to a higher standard?
 
All college athletes should be required to take a vow of celibacy.
 
Is this a Chinese Buddhist monk school of lying down on the football field in a non-violent show of solidarity?

I bet they don't allow big headed player interviews either...
 

I'm with ^ ^ that guy.

If I were coaching a real college football team, there would be absolutely no drug or alcohol imbibing while at the school. If you're doing those things, then you're not on my team. I'd seal the deal with a handshake and a promise, but if they were ever busted, they'd be done. I did like the part about respect for women, which is something that I don't think any of us would have thought to put on a sign like that. I'd also have something on there about being humble in victory, and gracious in defeat.

 
Many Utah players are over 21, and Utah doesn't have an honor code. IMO "No DUI's" is another way of saying "Don't drink and drive". I don't really see why this has been a hot topic with BYU fans but when you've lost 7 out of 10, you do have to dig a little deeper for smack talk.

Personally, I was bummed out that "Don't beat up customers at Betos during early morning Burritto runs" wasn't listed on the code of conduct.
 
They need to work on their mantra.

Eliminate Bad Football


Doesn't quite have a good ring to it.

What's wrong with alcohol if it is consumed moderately and responsibly?
 
They should have just wrote don't get caught doing anything that would embarrass the school or get us investigated by the NCAA.
 
I have no problem with NO DUIs. Those 21 or older shouldn't be prohibited from having an alcoholic beverage.

And I like treating women respectfully without mentioning specifics. Let the student athletes be judges and decide for themselves. No need to make a rule or definition for every single aspect in life.

As has been mentioned, the No DUI's is stupid, STUPID way to say no drinking and driving.

I guess some folks are seeing what they want to see. I don't see the DUI thing as inferring that it is OK to drink and drive. I see it as "You can drink" but "don't be an idiot and drink and drive." Inferring that they're suggesting that players can and/or should drink and drive but just "not get caught" is a stretch.

But I guess if you wear blue glasses you'll see something sinister in the Utes' Core Values. I'm a Cougar Fan and yet I don't see anything malicious or silly about them. Good on them and I hope their players live by those values.
