US EditionBYU Coach Says 'F The Mormons' Chants at Oklahoma St. Show There's 'Too Much Hate in the World'
- On Wednesday, BYU head coach Kevin Young condemned anti-Mormon chants after Oklahoma State's 99-92 upset in Stillwater, with the chants audible on the FS1 broadcast.
- The chants have recurred in recent years, and critics say the Big 12's disciplinary approach has been uneven, with Colorado penalized last fall for chants targeting BYU's sponsoring institution.
- Young directly quoted the chant during his postgame remarks, saying `There were some 'F Them Mormons' chants tonight`, and noted his four small kids will ask about it, as they did after a similar incident last year at Arizona.
- Young's comments were amplified online by Jackson Payne, and coverage was updated Feb. 4, 2026, after Oklahoma State fans stormed the court.
- The episode adds to a growing pattern of derogatory chants that make BYU fans uneasy traveling to away games, while USC, Oregon, Providence and Cincinnati have apologized for similar incidents.
