The Big 12 Conference issued a public reprimand and fined the University of Colorado $50,000 three days after profane chants were directed at the school’s opponent, BYU, during their football matchup at Folsom Field last Saturday.

“Hateful and discriminatory language has no home in the Big 12 Conference,” Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark said in a statement released Tuesday. “While we appreciate Colorado apologizing for the chants that occurred in the stands during Saturday’s game, the Big 12 maintains zero tolerance for such behavior. Colorado will receive a $50,000 fine in accordance with our conference policies.”

The chants were “(Expletive) BYU” and “(Expletive) the Mormons,” per Deseret News sports reporter Jackson Payne , who was in Boulder, Colorado, for the matchup.
