Gordon Monson: Utah AD Mark Harlan issues another statement, but not an apology
When a school’s AD says a game was “stolen” in the manner Harlan said it, it disrespects the conference and the winning opponent, in this case the Big 12 and BYU.
Is this an excuse or an explanation? Or a declaration propping up the AD as the student-athletes’ great protector? It does not sound like a man who feels as though he was unjustified in what he said, just a bit red-cheeked about where and the way he said it. Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark brought the thunder down on Harlan and warned him that his behavior moving forward would be monitored by the league. There was no word on any consequences falling on Kyle Whittingham for his characterization of certain refs’ calls as being “ridiculous.
Either way, it looks as though Harlan’s statement will end, at least for the time being, this particular chapter of Utah defiance. Utah’s 1-5 league record is tending to its arrogance.
