The Big 12 Conference has imposed a $100,000 fine on the University of Central Florida after a video showing an anti-Mormon chant by fans during a game against Brigham Young University circulated widely on social media.
The conference announced the penalty on Friday, stating that the chant violated its sportsmanship and conduct policies. The incident occurred during the recent matchup between the UCF Knights and the BYU Cougars.
Big 12 officials emphasized that such behavior is unacceptable and that member institutions are responsible for maintaining a respectful environment at athletic events.
