The Big 12 is out there levying fines, Cole. They're throwing $100,000 fines at schools all over the conference, and it's all because, well, I guess you chalk it up to boys will be boys, and 18 to 22 year olds are idiots, and they can't control their emotions, and they think four letter words are hilarious. The Big 12 is fining UCF for chanting discriminatory chants at BYU players and opposing fans for their religious beliefs.

The league says it has no place in the Big 12 Do you know what they were chanting at them in their game this past Saturday?

Cole Bryson (0:44)

No, I have not heard this.

SPEAKER_1 (0:45)

It was very simply, and unoriginally, if I might say so myself, blank the Mormons.

Just blank the Mormons. And look, I know 18 to 22 year olds, they all think the same idiotic, immature things are funny. I mean, let's be real, Cole. When I was 18 to 22, I probably chanted some really stupid things at the opposition as well. But now it's at the point where it's starting to cost your school money. It's starting to cost your team on the field if you continue to do this. And then the fines just keep going up, up and up. How do you get control of this?

Cole Bryson (1:21)

How?

SPEAKER_1 (1:22)

Maybe this is a bigger question. Maybe this is an impossible answer here. How do you control potentially 5 to 10,000 18 to 22 year olds and tell them to knock it off, you idiots?

Cole Bryson (1:36)

That's tough. And the bad part is, if you have a second incident in the same game, it can become a competitive penalty. It can become a 15 yard penalty and additional fines up to 500,000. Like that's a lot of money, even though universities have a lot of money. You said, what was the fine this time? 100,000? 100K? 100K for the big 12

Look, the reality is, you said it, college kids are going to be college kids. F the Mormons sounds really bad, of course, because you can't say that about any kind of religious organization or whatever it is. It sounds bad, but here's the reality of it. I mean, college kids, if they're the dolphins, they're going to say F the dolphins. So here's where I am on it, and I'm somebody who faith is very important to me. So I want to start with that. I'm not saying it shouldn't be tolerated or whatever. Let me say this. My religious faith is important to me, and Diesel, I think that's, of course, part of this conversation.

But here's my opinion. Let's not find them a lot of money because it was directed at Christianity or Mormons or whatever when next week it's going to be F'd the Dolphins if they play the Dolphins, and then next week it's going to be F'd the Patriots if they play the Patriots. That's my opinion on it. And you may disagree, but are they doing it because they don't like Mormons, or are they doing it because they're 18-year-old college kids? Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_1 (3:07)

Yeah.

And it's low class.

And I think that's a little bit of a microcosm of our culture in general in this country. I think we're at a point where nobody wants to be classy, and I think it's considered funny or whatever to be the farthest thing you could possibly be from classy. I just have a problem with it being lazy. Man, like, look, you watch a Duke basketball game. Those kids have it like, they have it dialed in. They know what they're going to say and chant at the other team in every situation. They've done research before. Just blank the Mormons. It's just lazy.

Cole Bryson (3:47)

Come on.

SPEAKER_1 (3:47)

I mean, these are 18 to 22 year olds. They're supposed to be at the height of their creativity. Is that the best you got?

Cole Bryson (3:53)

No, they're very just dumb. I mean, no.

SPEAKER_1 (3:58)

Don't you look at content creators and musicians? All the best ones are young. They're in their 20s.

Cole Bryson (4:04)

Yeah, but they're intoxicated, too.

SPEAKER_1 (4:07)

Oh, yeah, that's true.

Cole Bryson (4:08)

They're not thinking of great phrases that incorporate Mormons. Maybe they should have asked JattGPT to figure it out or give them something better.

SPEAKER_1 (4:17)

Yeah, you got all of AI, you got data centers going up just for this purpose, and blank the Mormons is the best you got. I'm not saying that my school is innocent of this. I was watching the James Madison game last week, and you can hear it on television. You can hear it on television, blank JMU.
