BYU, and all of their fans, anxiously await the official start of the Big 12 era of Brigham Young University athletics, which begins July 1, less than two months from now.
The first football schedule of this new, exciting era was released earlier this year, after much anticipation. BYU, along with UCF, Houston, and Cincinnati, will play their first Big 12 conference slate beginning September 2023.
With no Utah in the Big 12 (yet), and neither Boise State nor Utah State, BYU needs an in-conference rival. It has always been an easy answer, until now.
