Utah releases statement to ESPN ‘GameDay’ analyst over ‘uncomfortable’ experience
The University of Utah has apologized to Pat McAfee for "any perception that Pat was unsafe or unwelcome" during ESPN's "College GameDay" on Saturday. The university released a statement late Monday saying they're "grateful to have had the chance to welcome Pat McAfee and the entire ESPN 'College GameDay' crew to campus" and have "always enjoyed a terrific relationship and positive experiences with the entire crew." McAfee, during his show Monday, said that he felt "uncomfortable" after the University of Utah put out a video ahead of Saturday's broadcast from campus asking fans to share their best Pat McAfee impersonation. McAfee said after seeing the video he thought back to the Charlie Kirk shooting, which occurred at Utah Valley University.
