A schedule that gives us the best chance to beat strong P5s is better than tours
better than tour opportunities to traditional, storied venues.

Upcoming games being negotiated:
The Y's Insider
9/20/18 10:23am
I would love all of those. Less so Wyoming but I will take it. That would be great
cougarmanguy
9/20/18 10:24am
Already announced, correct?
AD4
9/20/18 10:25am
yes - at least from the Wyoming side
cougarmanguy
9/20/18 10:27am
Aside from WY and SDSU I think this is all speculation (wishful thinking)
Benfica1
9/20/18 11:50am
What has been confirmed about SDSU?
GOR
9/20/18 1:12pm
SDSU is on the 2019/20 schedule. Playing WY in 2022/4.
Benfica1
9/20/18 2:03pm
So, additional games being negotiated with SDSU and Wyoming?

What does being negotiated?
Archaea
9/20/18 10:25am
Trying to work out agreements. Nothing "done".
The Y's Insider
9/20/18 10:28am
If we do a neutral site with Notre Dame, it must be Vegas. That's the only way
boscatar
9/20/18 10:25am
ND already owes us two games in Provo. I wouldn't schedule any more until
Hinta
9/20/18 10:29am
I think technically they only owe us one, no? The second one would be on the
chilango
9/20/18 10:30am
Two 2 for 1 deals. They just owe one game in Provo to finish that one deal. The other 3 are cancelled already I think.
Turnpike Lane
9/20/18 10:31am
I'd be OK if they finished the 2-for-1 by playing us in Las Vegas
Richbyu
9/20/18 10:37am
Only if they gave us all of the ticket/TV revenue.
dYrtbYkerYder
9/20/18 3:33pm
1 game in Provo OR $1mil buyout. I'd rather play ND in Vegas than not play
boscatar
9/20/18 10:46am
No way would it be the "moral" thing for ND not to give us a home game...I can't
BlooCoog
9/20/18 1:44pm
It's not moral to follow the contract terms and pay the negotiated buyout?
boscatar
9/20/18 3:50pm
Is it moral to cheat on your spouse as long as there is a contractual prenup in place to assess "buyout" damages?
SingleStrapBackpack
9/20/18 3:57pm
I'll take logical fallacies for 300, Alex
boscatar
9/20/18 4:07pm
if you have a prenup and cheat/get divorced, aren't you following the contract terms and paying the negotiated buyout?
SingleStrapBackpack
9/20/18 4:27pm
A more appropriate comparison would be a business contract...not infidelity
boscatar
9/20/18 4:43pm
regardless of the rest, for the record – of course I also think infidelity is immoral 🙂
SingleStrapBackpack
9/20/18 5:31pm
Exactly. He is clueless on business dealings.
Cougstreak
9/21/18 12:35am
btw, cheating on a spouse is definitely immoral
boscatar
9/20/18 4:08pm
How's this thread get so side-tracked???
Y-Zag
9/20/18 5:38pm
What if the spouse is Bin Laden? Ha! 🙂
whitey1980
9/21/18 1:53am
It would be moral to pay the contract or play in Provo.
Cougstreak
9/21/18 12:34am
ND is currently ranked 8th.
BlueBeliever
9/21/18 1:44am
ND will fulfill the terms of the contract. We do not know the terms.
ParentingNotForSissy
9/20/18 12:11pm
ND would want to use it as a recruitment trip. CA or TX etc
Cougstreak
9/21/18 12:29am
ND better be Vegas. (...tip of the hat to boscatar)
Florwood

9/20/18 10:26am
Yeah, Detroit would be a home game for them, there are tons of Golden Domers
chilango
9/20/18 10:28am
Every neutral game is a home game for ND. A lot of road ones too.
jsjohnson1278
9/20/18 2:06pm
Not necessarily. A lot of Notre Damers I know were complaining the last couple

ND owes BYU a game in Provo first.
Benfica1
9/20/18 11:55am
I love most of those, but are you sure it's yet another H/H with Wyoming? I hope
chilango
9/20/18 10:26am
Boise State is probably working on a game with BYU right now.
Benfica1
9/20/18 11:56am
Any chance Arky, Clemson, A&M and Notre Dame are in November?
boscatar
9/20/18 10:27am
Nope.
TailgateU
9/20/18 4:07pm
Notre Dame better be in Vegas
CaliWG
9/20/18 10:27am
Notre Dame will be 1 game in a neutral venue after we play 1 game in South Bend
frontrowcougar
9/20/18 10:28am
Are you hearing this, or just a guess?
Richbyu
9/20/18 10:29am
It's just a joke. An angry, bitter joke. ND can kiss my hiney.
frontrowcougar
9/20/18 10:34am
Not sure why we'd agree to that. I'd rather just take the buyout.
chilango
9/20/18 10:29am
A neutral is obviously not in the spirit of the original deal, but...
byujdmba
9/20/18 10:31am
I would take a neutral in Dallas or Vegas. Not Detroit--not appealing.
Richbyu
9/20/18 10:34am
A neutral site game in Detroit would be cool at some point, but not as a
chilango
9/20/18 10:37am
Yeah. There'd be about 2,000 BYU fans at that game. Vegas would be majority BYU
Richbyu
9/20/18 10:38am
Sure, but not with yet another game in South Bend as part of the deal. And the
chilango
9/20/18 10:35am
I'd be okay with a H/N series with ND after they complete the last 2 for 1
CaliWG
9/20/18 10:32am
... with the neutral site being in Chicago...
NewMexiCoug
9/20/18 11:52am
Right - the "neutral" site in Chicago 😉
MajorPain
9/20/18 1:32pm
ND will only do a neutral site game that is close to a recruiting base for them.
Cougstreak
9/21/18 12:27am
I'd love to play ND two more times and have one in South Bend. I haven't been to SB for a BYU game yet, and would love

Don’t want anything to do with ND until we get our return game
spugeddy24
9/20/18 10:29am
Exactly. They can come to Provo. A neutral with them isnt that awesome.
Turnpike Lane
9/20/18 10:32am
Put it in Vegas. Close enough for us to pack it.
TailgateU
9/20/18 4:07pm
no. home or bust.

It was embarrassing how much BYU kissed ND's rear end....
Richbyu
9/20/18 10:36am
Well, we thought they had our backs when we went indy.
Archaeovagrant
9/20/18 2:40pm
Yep. They need to show up in Provo.
ataylor
9/20/18 10:46am
You're missing the point that the games are guaranteed for NBC or ABC broadcast
boscatar
9/20/18 10:50am
There’s another point which is to get marquee games in Provo. Add to that the
ataylor
9/20/18 10:59am
Except that ND told TH that they will buyout the game rather than play in Provo
boscatar
9/20/18 11:32am
Huh. ND isn't shy about being pansies
Ironhide
9/20/18 11:52am
Then let them buy out the game. We'll take the cash
spugeddy24
9/20/18 1:07pm
Look at last weekend's game - on ABC. Skip ND and get a game w/ another national
unctoothman
9/20/18 12:05pm
Not me. ND deserves nothing at this point. We can play plenty of other teams.
spugeddy24
9/20/18 1:07pm
In Provo?
Cougstreak
9/21/18 12:39am
How much of this do you think has to do with TH and being too nice

I don't think BYU has ever played Clemson or Arkansas

Indy Coug
9/20/18 10:37am
Notre Dame needs to come to Provo before we do any other games with them
Huge Manatee
9/20/18 10:38am
Not gonna happen. ND will buy us out before coming to LES.
The Y's Insider
9/20/18 10:41am
Free money then. I like it.
mudpupper
9/20/18 10:42am
Then take the money. ND can stick it.
Turnpike Lane
9/20/18 10:44am
Amen to this. No integrity by ND not to fulfill the contract.
Bostonblue
9/20/18 1:10pm
Then take the money. I don't care about playing them that much
Huge Manatee
9/20/18 10:47am
Why? We signed a contract that allows them to buyout the last game.
boscatar
9/20/18 10:51am
Who are you, 80k? Every contract has a "buyout"
Huge Manatee
9/20/18 10:53am
I'm not looking to make or collect the buyout.
boscatar
9/20/18 11:33am
Why does ND refuse to come to Provo?
CT98

Because they suck.

because they are more winnable P5s (not saying I agree with Pretorian, just stating what I'm sure is his reason)
SingleStrapBackpack

I get it. Winnable P5’s. I’m sure Tom Holmoe is trying for those as well.

It gives us an extra game every other year. That's worth it, plus a hawaii trip

I agree. My only quibble is I don’t think we get much out of playing Utah State
