With BYU coming in this season, the Big 12 has three private Christian schools from different denominations. The Cougars, the 1984 national champions who played the past 12 seasons as an independent, are now in the same league with Baylor and TCU — whose 118-game “Revivalry” in Texas dates to a scoreless tie in 1899.
There could be some new holy wars brewing in the evolving Big 12 Conference.
BYU was founded by and still supported by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the Mormon church. Baylor is the world's largest Baptist university, and TCU partners with the Christian Church . All three schools were founded in the 1800s. “I understand that TCU is probably our primary rival, but I’m also really proud of TCU and of Baylor ... smaller private institutions, and we’ve been able to find a way to navigate,” said Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades, noting the similarities with BYU. “To have three in a conference I think is really cool.
BYU, with only one losing record over the past 18 seasons, plays at TCU on Oct. 14, a reunion of teams that briefly in the past shared membership in both the Mountain West and Western Athletic conferences. But the Cougars aren't scheduled to play Baylor after they split games the past two seasons in a home-and-home series with the Bears that was set long before all of the conference realignment.
