Why would the removal of the Honor Code change BYU's football program that dramatically? We'd probably start going after more non-LDS and we might be more successful with that recruiting since they wouldn't have to stress about the possibility of getting booted for a minor mistake.
I don't see how that would change our rating on the morality index (real or perceived) that significantly. We'll still have a ton of RM's and married players and all that.

You remove the ability to control through punishment. I would have a lot less trouble with the honor code if they would quit playing it up to be this wonderful moral code. It has some wonderful moral code in it, but it also has some real "profiling type " biases.
