Tags: National Collegiate Athletic Association Team Season.
The 1996 Brigham Young Cougars football team represented the Brigham Young University in the 1996 NCAA Division I-A football season. BYU was able to play 15 games because of NCAA rules that are no longer in place. Firstly a team was able to play a designated kickoff opening game and not have it count against the allowed game total then they played at Hawaii which didn’t count against the allowed total. That allowed BYU to play 13 regular season games.
