The 2024 season marks year two for BYU football in the Big 12 Conference.
BYU is now a seasoned veteran regarding the preseason media tour called Big 12 Football Media Days.
Last year, the Big 12’s annual media event took place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This year, it will be hosted at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, marking the beginning of the league’s 16-team era with the addition of Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah.
On Monday, the Big 12 Conference revealed the attendees for the two-day event, now sponsored by Totino’s, replacing Old Trapper Beef Jerky.
