Cougstreak Walk-on

BYU has no bargaining power in this game.

What does ND game by losing BYU? Not much, just add in another team who wants to play them and many would do 2x1's.

What does BYU? A lot. Big brand name team on national TV, ND may or may not be good but get a BYU win gives some credibility to the schedule (they year is an outlier). Good for recruiting, fan base likes it etc etc.

BYU has much more to lose vs ND.

Is Tom Holmoe going to continue to ignore the fact that Notre Dame owes us

I wish people still had integrity. I am sure people can say "it business" but

If they give us money, they kept their word.

molodyets

10/27/16 4:46pm

Somewhat. It means they are willing to pay the penalty they agreed to if

Bob Vance

10/27/16 10:52pm

They kept their word. Their word is play the game or pay the penalty.

It is not going ignored. He knows they owe us those games...

ND is going to owe BYU a huge check

CaliWG

Buyout $ is almost certainly written into the contract

Moab Rising

Missouri was $1,000,000.00. With two away games, I've got to imagine

bocadillotortuga

It is one home game. It was 2 for 1, ND had the out option for the other series

Cougstreak

It was sch filed long before Tuckett went to Alabama.

I remember seeing the Alabama home game on a future schedule and then

BigYfan

I first saw the Alabama game on the schedule in early 1992...it was set for 98

Cyclogist

10/28/16 7:33am

there was supposed to be a H-H in 1995 and 1996

I wish Notre Dame could see the marketing value of a clash of independents on

NOCAL_YFAN

10/27/16 4:51pm

What market value? No one wants to see that game vs the various CCG's.

Cougstreak

10/28/16 7:20am

What would you like him to do? Send an angry tweet? Call their AD a "fetcher"?

shakinbaker

10/27/16 4:53pm

That's what ASU did

bocadillotortuga

10/27/16 5:14pm

And ASU looked really dumb for doing so. That's my point.

shakinbaker

10/28/16 4:19am

.....and they will likely not have a good relationship going forward.

Cougstreak

10/28/16 7:31am

He has said he expects the return ND game. I didn't know re Alabama.

Dr MoBYU

10/27/16 4:56pm

ND's AD stated a while back "we still owe BYU a game" or something similar

Thrill

Link?

Iman23

10/28/16 6:30am

I have heard the opposite. They don't discuss it and is all but dead.

Cougstreak

10/28/16 7:32am

Here is a statement from Tom Holmoe. ND only owes us 1 game now.

cougareugene

10/27/16 5:03pm

definitely sounds like he's ignoring the issue

StantonMac

10/27/16 5:10pm

Glad to see TH is not doing very many 2 for 1s anymore

Moab Rising

10/27/16 5:10pm

Your question is flawed: it presumptuously assumes it has been ignored.

ZooBlue

10/27/16 5:17pm

They are contract games. Guarantee they are not ignored. Bought out, probably.

rockhound

Trying thinking it through.

I don't believe the ESPN contract covers BYU away games.

squidmark

10/27/16 7:38pm

And if ESPN has the rights to the other teams games, we might be a compelling ma

GilbertAZCougar

10/27/16 8:49pm

It does not. A game @ ND would be on NBC.

BYU has no bargaining power in this game.

If Missouri owed us $1 billion dollars and I can see why no one would cancel.

BYU I Bleed Blue

10/27/16 7:57pm

Pretty sure that Alabama game was a one and done deal

Bill

10/27/16 8:14pm

Home and home that was bought out

wapiti

10/27/16 9:23pm

The 1998 game was a one and done deal

STLcoug

10/27/16 9:53pm

Nope- There was a home and home cancelled when the SEC expanded but the game

Bill

10/27/16 9:57pm

Hack

Alabama doesn't play OOC road games.

when georgia went to Phoenix a few years ago i remember the announcers saying...

Alabama played 3 regular season games east of Arlington, Tx since 2000

StalwartBraveTrue

10/28/16 1:22am

I think he should lead us all in a big cry

travelcoug

10/27/16 11:27pm

ND not coming back, no big upside; wait years and buyout is less with inflation

insidebyu

10/28/16 2:27am

Yup, why pay now? Always better to have optionality if needed.

Notre Dame only has two open away games through 2025: one in 2021, and one in 2025.

10/28/16 10:58am

I hope TH does all of his negotiating in private.

Posts like this crack me up. "I have absolutely no clue what Tom is doing..."
