My speed read of that Honor Code reproduced in the comment below doesn't seem to justify or give BYU any jurisdiction over alumni. I think BYU is in big trouble. Do they have punitive damages in Nevada?

He wasn't alumni yet. He had completed course work but the degree had not been awarded. I do not seek to defend, btw, becaseu I tihnk this sounds silly, but we should eb accurate.

He didn't walk across the stage at graduation? Was he still taking courses or finished? Are you saying they hadn't completed the ministerial act of mailing him his degree?

Yeah, Creekster, use better comparisons, like SU's understated "murderers of Galileo."

Of course, Galileo died at the age of around 80 due to complications from a hernia, but still. I'm guessing Jay Omer forced him to perform squat thrusts against his will. [SU, here's where you can draw upon your BoM knowledge and speak to "murderers of the spirit."]

My understanding is they had yet to complete the adminstrative process of reviewing his credits and confimring he had completed all requirements. Hence no degree. He claims coursework was all completed, BYU has not stated either way due to rpivacy issues. Again, I am not defedning, but I don't think they went back and retoractively yanked it, I think they suspended it before it was issued, sort of like they might do if he owed a liobrary fine or tuition or something.

"Hardy walked in BYU commencement ceremonies in August, but a BYU administrator informed him in a letter dated Sept. 30 that he had been deleted from the August graduation list and would not be awarded his degree in broadcasting."

Weanies.

Really, this is a gift for any sports program that recruits against BYU.

Are you disagreeing with my point? Walking in the ceremony rarely means that you graduated, as I am sure you know.

Persecutors of Galileo. A more precise analogy.
