BYU is tied to Independence unless Guaranteed Rate bowl opts to take them
which they can only do if there's not enough B1G or B12 teams to fill it's spots.
2021 Scenarios
Option 1: If BYU qualifies for a New Year's Six Bowl, they will play in New Year's Six bowl and their other agreements will be void.
Option 2: If BYU does not qualify for a NY6 bowl, they will play in the Independence Bowl against a Conference USA opponent. Unless they exercise their option (contingent on availability) to play in the Cheez-It-Bowl.
Option 3: From BYU's 2019-2020 annual report. "As part of both BYU bowl agreements, the Cougars also have an option to potentially participate in the Cheez-It Bowl in Arizona should its conference tie-ins (Big Ten and Big 12) be unable to provide an opponent. If applicable, that option can be exercised in lieu of one Independence Bowl and one ESPN Events bowl game."
