I don't have any inside scoop to the situation, but if I may be so brash as to speculate, let me make a hypothesis:
Said baseballer (we have baseball at BYU??) sticks his dick where it doesn't belong (or where it does belong depending upon your point of view). Baseballer meets with Bishop. Bishop refuses to sign ecclesiastical endorsement.
So baller has to tell his parents he was kicked out of BYU. Dad says 'why'? Baller, to save face, lies to Dad, telling him it was for "church attendance". Father runs to media, BYU knows nothing, Bishop can't say anything. Suddenly, headlines read "BYU kicks out baseball player for skipping church". Kid won't comment, mostly because he lied about the situation, and the Bishop knows it, the SP knows it, the joint copulator knows it and well as his friends he bragged to about said copulation.
Now, doesn't that make more sense than this BS Trib story.
Again, I don't know what transgression the kid committed. My story was purely hypothetical, but I'm guessing it was more than ditching out on Elder's Quorum. Color me skeptical.

No the Honor Code Office would be involved if it were a sexual transgression. And I don't see Dad running to the newspaper if it were anything else. I also believe the kid is an RM, which lessens the probability of that aspect. I don't buy your argument.
And plus the kid must go public to avoid your unnecessary speculation.
