University of Utah apologizes to ESPN's Pat McAfee over student video
The University of Utah apologized to ESPN host Pat McAfee after a student-recorded Instagram video mocked him during a College GameDay broadcast. University officials said the apology was issued to address the criticism and to reaffirm respect for guests on campus.
McAfee had earlier told reporters that the video, which featured student comments, made him feel unsafe and uncomfortable, and he said he did not plan to return to the university for future events. His remarks were reported following his appearance on College GameDay, where he praised the overall event but highlighted the negative impact of the social-media post.
