"BYU plans to make a return visit to Laramie next year in the “Double A” Arena Auditorium for the 2024-25 season.

Fifth-year head coach Mark Pope explained the decision for his staff to line up a home-and-home with the Pokes.

“It was a little bit later in the summer. I like the game because I think they’re good,” said Pope. “I think Coach (Jeff Linder) is unbelievable, and I think he does an incredible job. His run at Northern Colorado was exceptional. So I liked the game that way.”

If this year has shown us anything with non-conference scheduling for BYU as a Big 12 program, there will be only one true road game in the slate. That’s a standard operating procedure for teams in the Power Six.

The visit to Wyoming could be the lone road game on BYU’s non-conference schedule next year. It will be a rare opportunity for Wyoming to host a Power Six team in the “Double A.”

When BYU travels to Laramie in 2024, it will be Wyoming’s first home game against a Power Six team since 2019 versus Oregon State.

“I like that it’s a terrible place to go on the road. I mean, nobody wants to go there ever in the history of the world wants to go play at Wyoming. And I like that for our guys,” Pope said. “I think it’s a terrific challenge.”"
