Holmoe basically confirms that he gave ND whatever they wanted to play them in

Maybe he got more money than the buyout

I hope it was enough to cover the travel costs and a surplus.

Notre Dame was either going to pay the buyout or do this. BYU took the better option. They were not coming to Provo.

That's a myopic assessment. The mistake was made negotiating a 2-1 with the 1st

I'm not shocked at all by it. Just sharing what he reaffirmed.

Luckily the remnants of tough scheduling in independence will be gone soon

I still think BYU should have taken the ASU route with

Not sure that following ASU's example in most instances will lead

As an ASU grad, I completely agree. This case though is the exception

ND has leverage. BYU needs ND game more than ND needs BYU game.

Not anymore. Those days ended before this game got scheduled.

Indy Coug

6/22/22 9:42am

You are not being honest with yourself if you believe BYU doesn't need this game

flyzag

6/22/22 9:44am

BYU didn't "need" Notre Dame for 2022. They could have just as easily found someone else and the rest of the schedule

Indy Coug

6/22/22 9:48am

ND's schedule is filled with 8 P5 teams. For NY bowl BYU needs more P5 games

flyzag

6/22/22 9:51am

BYU could have got another P5 team.

Not likely. The BYU-Notre Dame game was announced last fall, about 3 weeks after

It was announced then, but how long had they been working to get the game with

byusage

6/22/22 10:34am

how many p5 teams of ND quality have a game left to fill in schedule?

flyzag

Doesn't need. But still very beneficial

This is a true statement but BYU doesn't need a ND game so badly to get abused

We don't need that game. Why do we need it?

BYU needs marque P5 wins to earn a NY Bowl. BYU without ND only has

flyzag

6/22/22 3:29pm

I agree with your perspective, but we still play at Stanford in '22

Doogal McCougar

6/22/22 3:37pm

Of course. It's ridiculous what we did to get that extra game. Should have just forced them to pay us.

Indy Coug

6/22/22 9:41am

BYU will earn more than the contracted buyout. Plus, we get ND in Vegas.

Doogal McCougar

6/22/22 9:47am

No, ND gets BYU in Vegas. Based on ticket allocation, most of us won't be there.

*Then, we get ND on NBC.

Doogal McCougar

6/22/22 2:52pm

There is/was no need to force ND to pay the buyout. ND has been offering and

Why? We end up with more money than we would have had otherwise and we get the best game of our season.

Transcript of the phone call between Swarbrick and Holmoe:

Just think of how satisfying it's gonna be when we win.

What did he say? Anyone got a link?

HarlemCoug

6/22/22 12:26pm

I honestly can't stand ND. I wouldn't miss not playing them in the future.

SaintGeorgeYFan

Holmoe did the right thing and got us a high-profile game
