Brigham Young University
BYU’s sports teams compete in Division I of the NCAA and are known as the BYU Cougars. BYU joined the Big 12 Conference in July 2023 after 12 years as a member of the West Coast Conference (WCC). During the university's time in the WCC, which does not run a football league, the Cougars played in the top level of college football, Division I FBS, as an independent (not in a conference). The only BYU sport not sponsored by the Big 12 is men's volleyball; that team plays in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. BYU’s sports teams have won 14 national championships.
