BYU just needs to beat ND at Allegiant and that will be satisfaction enough. Let all those paying Notre Dame fans suffer through the defeat.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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