Crumbl CEO pays fine for BYU fans rushing the field after beating Utah
PROVO, Utah (ABC4) — The CEO of the Utah-based cookie company, Crumbl, paid the Big 12 a fine for BYU fans rushing the field after BYU’s victory over the Utah Utes on Saturday night.

After BYU extended its winning streak over Utah to three straight games, thousands of fans stormed the field, an action that could potentially lead to a fine from the Big 12.

However, Crumbl shared that when its CEO, Jason McGowan, learned that no one would be allowed to go on the field, he offered to pay the fine.

“During the BYU game, our CEO, Jason McGowan, was on the field watching the game and saw how excited the fans were. When he learned that no one would be allowed to go onto the field, he offered to personally pay the fine so everyone could celebrate together. Jason has built his career around creating meaningful moments and he didn’t want to miss the chance to help his fellow Cougar fans enjoy one,” said a spokesperson for Crumbl.

McGowan was seen telling the BYU players that he offered to pay the fine in a video posted to X.

Just a few weeks ago, the Big 12 fined Colorado $50,000 for a field storm. The conference later rescinded the Buffs’ fine because the school “executed its field storm management procedures” according to a statement from a school spokesperson.
