For people missing college football, this is what those fans have been waiting for. The Big 12 has released schedules for all thier teams. This will be the first season the Big 12 will be without Oklahoma and Texas and will feature four new teams coming from the Pac 12.
The Big 12 is adding Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah. This is the second season in a row the Big 12 is adding new teams to the conference. Every team will play nine conference games and three non-conference games. Arizona at Kansas State and Baylor at Utah are games that will fulfill preexisting agreements and will not count toward conference play.
Big 12’s 2024 schedule will be released at 11 am ET. Because of previous scheduling contracts, Baylor at Utah (Sept 7) & Arizona at Kansas State (Sept 14) will be non-conference games & not Big 12 contests
