SLC To Potentially Have Permenant 12 Game Schedule

[KABrother88]

This would be really big news and I hope it passes. As some may not know, a 12 game regular season only happens every so often. They decide on 11 or 12 based off of the number of Saturday's between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. When there are 12 Saturdays you get 11 games. When there are 13 you get 12. With your first game being played before Labor Day it allows you a bye week in the middle. I'm assuming this would mean that there would be 2 games before Labor Day and not eliminating the bye. With the SLC moving to a 9 game conference schedule last year, it only allowed 2 non conference games, one of which will probably always be used as an FBS money game. This will give schools an opportunity to get 2 other opponents and potentially more revenue for either another home game or another FBS money game.
