BYU Football: Could the Cougars sign with a second Las Vegas bowl?

BYU Football has a deep tie to Las Vegas, especially when it comes to bowl games.

The Las Vegas Bowl began in 1992. That’s 26 times the game has been played, and the Cougars have played in six of them. That’s the most of any team.

Things are changing in 2020, though. The bowl’s contract with UNLV’s Sam Boyd Stadium is up that year, as is the contract with the PAC-12 and Mountain West Conference.

There are rumblings that the bowl will switch locations to the new stadium being build to house the Las Vegas Raiders, once they make their move from Oakland.
