The collection is probably going being modified on account of Houston becoming a member of the Huge 12 Convention and desirous to reorganize their future opponents to align with the Huge 12’s nine-game convention schedule format. For Boise State, protecting Houston on their 2024 slate would imply they might face three Energy 5 opponents in non-conference play.
Houston is at the moment scheduled to open the 2024 season at house towards the UNLV Rebels on Aug. 31. The Cougars will then journey to face the Oklahoma Sooners the next week on Sept. 7.
Boise State is about to open their 2024 marketing campaign with a non-conference recreation on the highway towards the Georgia Southern Eagles on Aug. 31. The Broncos will then host the Oregon State Beavers on Sept. 7 earlier than returning to the highway to tackle the Oregon Geese on Sept. 14.
Though a number of groups have openings in 2024, it’s probably that each Houston and Boise State will fill their opening subsequent season with opponents from the Soccer Championship Subdivision (FCS).
