Overview

• Portions of the Folsom Field crowd chanted “F--- BYU” and “F--- the Mormons” during the Sept. 27 game, with at least one instance captured on ESPN audio and several witnesses reporting multiple repetitions.
• Colorado chancellor Justin Schwartz and athletic director Rick George condemned the behavior in a joint statement and pledged accountability under the school’s fan code of conduct.
• BYU denounced religious discrimination and said it appreciated Colorado’s response and efforts to address the situation.
• Deion Sanders apologized on behalf of the program, saying the chants likely came from young fans who were “probably intoxicated and high simultaneously,” after initially saying he was unaware of them postgame.
• CU Athletics said it is reviewing real-time enforcement procedures and aims to implement changes before the next home game on Oct. 11, as the Big 12 issued a public reprimand and $50,000 fine.
