""The Big 12 Conference will not tolerate any behavior that targets or demeans others," the league said in a statement Sunday."
""I think their fans should be proud, but it would be great if some class was warranted.""
""I got four small kids at home, I'm a Mormon, and when I go home, they're going to ask me about it, the same way they asked me about it last year at Arizona," he added."
""There's too much hate in the world to be saying stuff like that," Young said. "We've got enough problems in our world without going after people's religion and beliefs. ... This stuff is unwarranted. ... And it's just disappointing.""
Oklahoma State was fined $50,000 by the Big 12 after an anti-Mormon chant directed at BYU occurred during a men's basketball game in Stillwater following a 99-92 Cowboys upset. BYU coach Kevin Young reported hearing chants of "F The Mormons" from the student section and called for more class, noting the personal impact on his children. The Big 12 investigated the inappropriate chants and stated that it will not tolerate behavior that targets or demeans others. The chant has occurred at least four times in the past year at BYU games and other schools, prompting apologies and prior fines. Oklahoma State president Jim Hess condemned behavior that demeans others and cited the Cowboy Code calling for respect and dignity.
