This gotten out of hand and far too personal. Respect opinions, accept (however grudgingly) humor.
As devastating as the decision is for the player/student/team, the university has its rules, regardless of one's secular "take" or another's moral stance. In that regard I stand at Irish666's side. I also stand with those who question the value of that rule.
Commentary, pro or con is fine. "Slings and arrows" are quite another thing. Pre marital sex is a NO-NO in both the Mormon and Catholic Churches. BYU is Mormon and ND Catholic. One has chosen to make it an offense that warrants immediate and dire consequences and the other has not.
I feel, personally, that both churches are a bit "off" in their views, but that's another "mountain out of a molehill" thing.
Without going into additional, excruciating and boring commentary, my advice is to simply "settle down."
