More indications came on Wednesday that BYU is headed to Las Vegas to play in the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl on Dec. 19.
The latest report came from ESPN's Brett McMurphy, who says a "source told ESPN" that BYU will play in the bowl this year and play in the Hawaii Bowl in 2019, if the Cougars are bowl eligible then.
ESPN owns both bowls, so McMurphy's source, oddly enough, is probably his own employer.
Late Tuesday evening, BYU's ticketing website included a line to the Las Vegas Bowl for fans wishing to purchase tickets.
