BYU announced this week that star linebacker Spencer Hadley has been suspended for five games for violating the school's honor code.

When schools release this type of information, here the reason behind the suspension is kept private. But a photo obtained by The Salt Lake Tribune from the University of Utah via a Government Records Access Management Act (GRAMA) request reportedly shows Hadley partying in what appears to be a Las Vegas club.

Those who attend and work at Brigham Young University adhere to the ideals and principles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and there's a strict honor code everyone must abide by.

The rules of the honor code are as follows:

Be honest
Live a chaste and virtuous life
Obey the law and all campus policies
Use clean language
Respect others
Abstain from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee, and substance abuse
Participate regularly in church services
Observe the Dress and Grooming Standards
Encourage others in their commitment to comply with the Honor Code

According to The Salt Lake Tribune, a Utah fan emailed this photo to the school's compliance office Monday, which was then forwarded to BYU's Director of Compliance. Tuesday morning, Cougars coach Bronco Mendenhall announced that Hadley had been "suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules."

BYU (1-1) hosts Utah (2-1) Saturday at 10:30 p.m. ET.
