Big 12 fines UCF over discriminatory chants and outlines escalating penalties

The Big 12 fined UCF $100,000 over discriminatory chants directed at BYU fans and clarified that repeat confirmed incidents can trigger escalating consequences, including competitive penalties; ejected individuals may also face season-long event bans. Sitake cautioned against judging an entire fan base by a few individuals. This conduct policy is separate from the conference’s stadium-storming review.
