Utah athletic director Mark Harlan was publicly reprimanded and fined $40,000 by the Big 12 on Sunday after blasting a conference officiating crew following BYU
Utah defensive tackle Keanu Tanuvasa reacts after losing to BYU in an NCAA college football game, just after midnight on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024, in Salt Lake City.
"This game was absolutely stolen from us," Harlan said. "We were excited about being in the Big 12, but tonight I am not. We won this game. Someone else stole it from us. Very disappointed. I will talk to the commissioner. This was not fair to our team. I'm disgusted by the professionalism of the officiating crew tonight.
BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff threw an incomplete pass in the end zone, but the play was blown dead a few seconds after the snap because officials said BYU called a timeout before the snap.
