I love this move from both programs. As I always say, big football games are good for the sport and it’s great for fans.
We don’t want to watch our teams play cupcakes in the non-conference slate. It’s just not fun. Watching top-25 teams blow out directional schools gets boring quick.

Given the playoff format, it’s important teams play tough schedules. Playing BYU four times is a great start for Stanford.
Granted, it’s happening over the course of several years, but the point remains. Stanford and BYU are both trying to beef up their non-conference schedules.

Props to both of them for giving fans what they want. Hopefully, this trend only increases over time.
