The Big 12 Conference has imposed a $100,000 fine on the University of Central Florida (UCF) after a viral anti-Mormon chant erupted from the student section during a football game against Brigham Young University (BYU). The penalty was announced on October 30, 2026, with the conference citing violations of its sportsmanship and conduct policies.
Video of the chant spread quickly on social media, prompting the league to review the incident. The Big 12 emphasized its commitment to fostering respectful environments at all conference events. UCF has not yet issued a public response to the fine.
