SALT LAKE CITY — After weeks of speculation regarding the future of the Utah-BYU rivalry, it looks like the annual game between the red and blue will be put on hold for at least two years.
Utah athletic director Chris Hill has told the Deseret News (http://www.deseretnews.com/article/765588980/BYU-and-Utah-football-Utes-and-Cougars-rivalry-game-put-on-hold-2014-2015.html) that the Utes and Cougars will not play in 2014 and 2015.
Contracts for a 2013 game in Provo and a 2016 game in Salt Lake City are currently pending.
According to KSL's Greg Wrubell (http://www.ksl.com/?sid=21197329&nid=498&title=utes-cougars-take-a-break), "BYU has more flexibility (as an independent) than most programs to 'schedule wins.' Utah's ability to do the same is much more limited, and scheduling BYU is not the way to do it."
The Utes recently scheduled a home and home series with Michigan (http://www.ksl.com/?sid=21020363&nid=840&title=utes-bringing-in-big-blue) for 2014 and 2015.
Hill also said that the Utes have bought out of their 2014 trip to Utah State. The Utes and Aggies will meet on Sept. 7 in Logan, and then 2013 and 2015 in Salt Lake City.
The Deseret News is also reporting that Utah and Utah State have scheduled a four-year agreement in basketball that begins in 2014.
