BONUS: Drake Toll Just SOLVED Anti-Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Hate At BYU Football

The recurring appearance of derogatory, faith-targeted chants at BYU road venues has devolved from an isolated student-section issue into an exhausting systemic problem across collegiate athletics.

When opposing student sections resort to coordinated, profane religious slurs directed at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it crosses a clear line far beyond traditional sports trash-talk. Over recent seasons, this brand of ugly targeted harassment has surfaced repeatedly during high-profile matchups—ranging from football games at Colorado, Cincinnati, and Colorado State, to basketball environments like Oklahoma State and Arizona. Despite athletic departments rushing out post-game press releases and issuing formal apologies, the cycle keeps repeating because institutional wrist-slaps and standard stadium public service announcements clearly aren't changing behavior in the student sections.

The conference offices have shown a willingness to step in—such as when the Big 12 hammered Colorado with a hefty fifty-thousand-dollar fine—yet sports broadcasters and athletic administrators argue that financial penalties alone lack immediate deterrence. Suggestions from press box veterans and analysts have even turned toward on-field consequences, such as assessing unsportsmanlike conduct penalties to home teams if student sections refuse to check the harassment, arguing that nothing silences crude behavior faster than directly hurting a team's chances at a win.

Ultimately, while opposing fanbases try to use these cheap tactics to rattle the Cougars, the locker room response has consistently been to let the scoreboard do the talking. As players and coaches have repeatedly noted, the noise quickly fades the moment the visiting team executes on the gridiron or the hardwood, leaving the vitriol exposed as little more than weak-willed background noise.
