Overview
- Chants of a profane anti-Mormon phrase from the Oklahoma State student section were audible on FS1 during the Cowboys’ 99-92 upset of No. 16 BYU at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
- Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark said the conference is investigating and reiterated a zero-tolerance stance, citing enforcement under league sportsmanship policies.
- Kevin Young, who is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, called the chants unwarranted and noted the personal impact on his family and players.
- The incident follows a pattern of similar episodes at other schools in the past year, including a $50,000 Big 12 fine and reprimand issued to Colorado after a football game.
- Oklahoma State fans also stormed the court after the win, a separate postgame action that outlets report is likely to draw a Big 12 fine.
