I know that in the recent past BYU has managed to secure home and home series with Notre Dame and USC (of course at the time of scheduling, nobody knew USC would be ranked #1 both years), however has it become more difficult to draw big name programs to LES, in the age of the BCS?

BYU hasn't had much, if any difficulty scheduling PAC-10 teams, Big 12 schools on the other hand are an entirely different matter.
Nebraska backed out on an agreed deal to play BYU in the BCA Classic because the game was scheduled to take place at LES, so Tulane ended up taking their spot.
Oklahoma in the past couple of years also backed out on a home and home deal.
Texas A&M is the only Big 12 school I can think of that's been to LES in the past 20 years....Texas came in the late 80's.
