PROVO, Utah – BYU/Baylor has the potential to be a special series when the two schools are both in the Big 12 Conference.
Baylor has been an original member of the Big 12 from its inception in 1996, while BYU is set to join the Power 5 league in 2023. Last year, when BYU traveled to Waco to face the Bears for the first time since 1984, Baylor rolled out the Big 12 carpet for BYU.
Baylor has this flyer for all media today.

BYU was celebrated at Baylor’s homecoming parade. In addition, the Bears issued flyers to assembled media in the press box that said, “A united future in the Big 12 Conference.” Baylor also gave BYU a plaque currently hanging in BYU’s equipment room featuring the BYU logo and the Big 12 logo.
