Irving, Texas – The Big 12 Conference today announced a variety of updates regarding the 2024 Big 12 Football season:

Non-Conference Matchups

As previously announced, Saturday’s Utah-Baylor matchup will not count as a conference game, due to it being originally scheduled as a non-conference game prior to Utah becoming a member of the Big 12 Conference. The non-conference game status will also apply to next week’s game between Arizona and Kansas State for identical reasons.
