A star athlete at a major religious private university is bringing more about integrity and fidelity to the spotlight. The fact that an NFL ready star athlete has chosen to fix an issue that many wouldn't even call an issue, at the potential expense of his senior year at college (which sports agents would call a major issue), is news. From CBS:
In other words, people really, truly want to go to BYU. Tens of thousands of them. And they know ahead of time what awaits them -- or rather, what doesn't await them. No sex. No beer, even for students of legal age. No cigarettes. No cursing, either.
But Unga chose BYU in 2005, when he could have gone to Utah. He had offers from schools in the Pac-10 as well, but he chose BYU and its honor code. After three seasons he has run for 3,455 yards, putting himself on the NFL's radar, but after the 2009 season he chose BYU again by letting the deadline for entering the NFL draft come and go.
