Kentucky would be the biggest non-conference game for BYU... ever?

Hard to say, Duke and Kentucky are probably on the same level.

Archaea

I think Pope makes Kentucky bigger than Duke.

For us at least. But i definitely want to play kentucky more than duke.

We played UNC 15 years ago or so.

What's the financial incentive to playing Duke and UK in the preseason?

Dec 20, 11:20am

To make games people will watch in pre-season. So many of the pre-season games

Archaea

maybe OP meant non-conference, which usually precedes conference play?

COUGND

that's what I mean. Pre-conference season.

Archaea

Dec 20, 11:24am

Ah, that makes sense.

Dec 20, 11:52am

Not exhibition. Just pre-conference play.

What I meant. Thanks for the correction.

Reminder that these aren't actually "preseason" games

I don't know about that. OP says they're pre-season games. I wonder if we need

Regardless of financial incentive, that's great prep for Conference and Post Season play.

It would be the only thing of interest in mid-October. TV $$$

If true, would love to see at least one of these big games in Provo. Unlikely.

My guess is both would be neutral courts. But I have no idea.

Allstate

Definitely neutral. Larger arenas = more $$$$

Marriott and Rupp are not big enough?

By "pre-season" do you mean non-conference schedule? Or one of these exhibition

MaximusMeridius

Dec 20, 11:38am

We have pre-season exhibitions, not those. Everything else I tend to call pre-

If we've learned anything about you the past few weeks it's that your nomenclature about things isn't great.

Not sure if you care but that's completely incorrect terminology

MaximusMeridius

Dec 20, 2:41pm

I don’t really care. I call those exhibitions.

Archaea

Dec 20, 5:21pm

So non-conference games are not part of BYU's season??? Where is the logic?

MaximusMeridius

Dec 20, 8:43pm

Would have to be in late-October, no?

Dec 20, 1:56pm

That’s a lot of road and neutral court games

Is BYU committed to an early, pre-B12 season tournament next yr?

Forzaitalia

Not at this point

Timing couldn't be better

Investment in AJ will payoff huge for BYU. The ROI is already coming together!
