SALT LAKE CITY — Following the announcement from the University of Utah on Wednesday that defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley will retain his position after an investigation was conducted regarding a text message he sent in 2013 that contained a racial slur, Scalley, athletics director Mark Harlan and head football coach Kyle Whittingham met with media via teleconference.

“My message is simple, but it is sincere, and that is that I am extremely sorry,” an emotional Scalley said. “First and foremost, let me be clear: I am against racism of any kind and am determined to take an active role at the university and in my community in being part of the solution and change.”
