Big 12 to require teams to schedule at least one Power Conference opponent, or BYU

The Big 12 joints other power conferences in requiring a P5 opponent, and once again, BYU qualifies

Those jokes about Baylor's schedules are funny, but it appears that we won't be able to make them forever, as the Big 12 is taking a step to make sure everybody in their conference is playing a more difficult schedule. Today, the conference announced that moving forward, all teams must schedule at least one Power Five opponent, or Notre Dame, and that they can't play more than one FCS opponent in a season, joining the Big Ten, ACC and SEC in similar scheduling requirements.
