Episode Description

Chants and trash talk are all too common in sports games. But when the attacks turn personal — whether about someone’s race, ethnicity, or religion, it crosses a line. BYU’s sports teams have long been the targets of expletives yelled at them and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But it’s really amplified as the Cougars joined the Big 12 Conference. Now, following an incident at UCF last weekend, the Big 12 is cracking down in a big way. KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper joins the conversation.
