Interesting in this weeks news about the rivalry stopping for a couple of years how ESPN cites the BYU/Utah rivalry as one of the stumbling blocks that led to the PAC12 and B1G dropping out of their scheduling agrrement.

"ESPN.com has learned that the Pac-12 approached the Big Ten in March and said several of its members had reservations about a mandatory scheduling agreement. The main problem: the Pac-12 currently plays nine league games per season, while the Big Ten plays only eight. Pac-12 members such as USC and Stanford, who both also have annual games against Notre Dame, would have added a Big Ten opponent to an already taxing slate. Other Pac-12 schools have regular scheduling agreements with opponents outside the league, such as Utah-BYU."
