Two weeks ago at Folsom Field, fans directed expletives and religious slurs toward Mormons as BYU beat Colorado 24-21. The school was issued a $50,000 fine, and Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark condemned the chants.
Sanders apologized too, saying at the time: “Our student body, our kids are phenomenal, so don’t indict us just based on a group of young kids that probably was intoxicated and high simultaneously.”
In November, the Big 12 fined Arizona State $25,000 and issued a reprimand following a premature field storming by Sun Devils fans that took roughly 15 minutes to clear before BYU heaved a final Hail Mary that fell incomplete. Colorado received a $25,000 fine last season after a win over Baylor on a Hail Mary play when the crowd rushed the field.
Sanders seemed shocked when told Saturday that the fine for storming the field could be $50,000.
“How is it $50,000 for rushing the field?” Sanders said. “Wow. Shoot. I’m sorry. Wow, fifty grand.”
