Big 12 Announcement - Teams must play at least one P5 Game a year

The Big 12 has announced it will require Conference football programs to annually play at least one non-conference game against an autonomy conference institution (ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC, plus Notre Dame).
“Schedule strength is a key component in CFP Selection Committee deliberations,” commented Commissioner Bob Bowlsby. “This move will strengthen the resumes for all Big 12 teams. Coupled with the nine-game full round robin Conference schedule our teams play, it will not only benefit the teams at the top of our standings each season, but will impact the overall strength of the Conference.”
Additionally, no Big 12 program shall play more than one game annually against a non-Football Bowl Subdivision opponent.
This new scheduling requirement does not impact existing non-conference game contracts.

Positive move. Next up, eliminate FCS games.

Look out Wake Forest! Baylor is coming for you!

Still won't help them from getting screwed a lot because of not having a championship game

and what if the other P5 schools say no?

Adding teams like Wake Forrest and Colorado will really help convince the committee

Other conferences already have or will have similar policies. I don't think finding opponents will be an issue.
Teams like Kansas can schedule anyone, and teams like Oklahoma can schedule Purdue without much trouble.

So how are you going to fund and continue to keep those programs alive with no FCS games?
Why shouldn't FCS programs be allowed to exist?

I'm with you on why fcs games should be continued but it's not worth it to argue it on here

it absolutely will. especially if FCS teams are removed and replaced by P5 teams.

There are plenty of lower level schools that are thriving without taking a payout to get pounded by Alabama.

If they can't stand on their own, they shouldn't.

This won't have any affect on OU's scheduling, we have always scheduled good OOC matchups, like the buckeyes starting next year

Relax, that wasn't a shot at Oklahoma. The point is, no one in the Big 12 should have much difficulty scheduling a P5 school.

Probably took Baylor 5 seconds to call Vandy.
