I think this might be the first I have heard of a University actually telling a student athlete to stay away from class. Nonetheless, BYU has asked basketball “star” Jimmer Fredette to quit coming to class because he is a distraction.

College basketball's consensus national player of the year is doing all his schoolwork online this semester because his presence had become a distraction in class. Al Fredette told the Glens Falls Post-Star that starstruck students were approaching his son during lectures for autographs and photographs.

"It was getting too disruptive," Al Fredette said. "He can't go anywhere in Provo without being recognized."

Is disrupting class a violation of the BYU Honor Code?
