McAfee said he knew some people believed the students’ comments were not particularly harsh, but he kept coming back to who posted the video.

"It was the university putting that out. It’s not like a blog. It’s the actual place that we’re at," he said.

The Instagram post was not the only part of McAfee’s visit that appeared to frustrate him. He also took issue with a student participating in his weekly "Kicking Is Easy" contest, which gives a contestant a chance to kick a field goal for $1 million.

McAfee said the student questioned why the prize was "only $1 million" after the potential prize reached $3 million for the previous week’s Notre Dame-BYU game.

"It’s my money! Only $1 million. It’s like, all right, I hate this place. I hate this place," he said.

McAfee said he hopes he never has to return to the university and joked that he might have COVID if "College GameDay" goes back.

Despite his frustrations, he praised Utah’s football team and called its student section "incredible." He also thanked the fans who attended Saturday’s broadcast.

"It was a phenomenal GameDay. Thank you to everybody that showed up," he said.

Utah went on to defeat Houston 21-13 on Saturday.
