Big 12 Fines UCF $100K After 'Discriminatory Chants Directed at BYU'
The conference said the fine will fund student education initiatives and added automatic penalties for future discriminatory conduct.
The Big 12 fined UCF $100,000 over discriminatory, anti-religious chants directed at BYU fans during a football game.
UCF issued scoreboard and public-address warnings, dispatched security, and removed some participants, according to the Big 12.
The fine will support student education initiatives, while the conference did not penalize UCF for the field storming because proper exit protocols were followed.
The Big 12 introduced stricter rules, including game penalties, additional fines, and academic-year bans for ejected fans.
