Core Values

Those would all look fantastic on the back of a jersey
Is this an appropriate core value list for a college football team, or should these players be held to a higher standard?
Two of those three are non-quantifiable. That should be addressed.

Wow. This made my day. First of all, no DUI's? So... drink and drive all you want, just don't get caught! Core values. I think they meant "no felonies."
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 are obviously making a distinction on legality. I have no problem with a student athlete over the age of 21 enjoying a beer/ alcoholic beverage in his free time...

What's wrong with alcohol if it is consumed moderately and responsibly?
