Why not play Wyoming? History – former conference mate, competitive, local, we

had already set up the game during independence. It-s a good thing to do – BYU doesn't need to act like a bunch of snobs because of Big 12 inclusion.

Why are we playing at Wyoming next year?

Or SMU

The reason we scheduled SMU is because we needed someone to play next season.

SMU fans would love to hear you talk about their program like this

Alright, who should BYU have scheduled instead?

Yukon

How about SMU...at home?!!! Then a return game in a later year when we have

SMU fans would like us to talk about how they are an acc schedule filler?

The issue isn’t playing against Wyoming, it is playing at Wyoming.

Texas Tech played there this year

And lost! No one cares if you beat Wyoming but if you lose - yikes!

It’s not a superiority thing, it’s a Wyoming thing. Why schedule Wyoming….ever?

Exactly Wyoming no better than Dairy Utes.

BYU fans being hypocritical again.

Yukon

Yeah op is dumb, we’ve played h-h with P5s for decades. It’s only the bluebloods

palangi

I would argue that our program deserved a lot more respect than Wyoming

BigHouse Coug

Good points

Sad, by the looks of it some CBers think our program was no better than Wyoming

It's true, P5 programs should never have come to Provo while we were Indy or g5

Not a bigboy? Then neither is Texas Tech, Missouri, Oregon, Texas, Nebraska, etc

It’s cheaper to play a H/H series than to buy them out.

SMU may be in the ACC (or what's left of it) next year. 🙂

Big 12 members have to play at least 1 P5 non conference game. The SMU announcement came after their move to the ACC

runningryan

11/29/23 8:36am

I do not recall hearing there is a B12 requirement to play a P5 OOC

BYUFam1

11/29/23 8:45am

It’s been a while. BYU originally didn’t count which is why we didn’t schedule a lot

Here you go

Well, Wyoming might be a PAC-12 team by the time we play them, if WSU and OSU

The decision was made in 2015; I don’t know if it’s been amended. Link.

equality of the series is a very meaningful detail is why I mentioned it

palangi

USC was both times

BYUFam1

11/29/23 9:40am

We cancelled our game with them this year

palangi

11/29/23 9:45am

So if that counts then wasn't there a canceled TxA&M of a H:H agreement
