I don't know for sure, but mine were sent to the Y. It was that way since I was there about 5 years ago.
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy. eritis sicut dii I support NCMO
I went back and reread the article. It is amazing the various levels that a gag order was issued. Of course you want people to be quiet and not tell when you know what you are doing is wrong but feel compelled to do it for self-righteousness sake. Much wrongdoing is allowed to transpire when good people are not allowed to speak up.
As reported today in the Trib, some LDS 'higher-up' must have been embarrassed by the publicity, because the father of the player has been informed that his son is reinstated to BYU (no reason for the reversal given). Link below:
"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."

BYU has written some clarifications to the Honor Code on their website (the link that was previously down in the last several days regarding church attendance now redirects here).
This is the current statement on church attendance:
Bishops should consider faithful attendance at Church meetings as one factor in the endorsement process even though no required percentage of attendance has been specified.
